Hi guys, Black Friday is coming and I really want an upgrade for my machine,I've had my eyes locked on FX-6300 , and I want to make sure that I make the right choice.

Here's my specs: 
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.00Ghz , AM3

GPU: AMD Sapphire Radeon HD 6670 - 1GB  DDR5 

MB: Asus M5A78L-M LX, socket AM3+

Ram: Kingmax 4GB DDR3 , 1600Mhz

HDD: WD 1 TB 7200rpm,

PUS: Extremly cheap stock one that came with the case,(I believe it's Floston FL500) it says it's arround 500W and it's produced by Floston.

The main goal of this pc is to play games, like Battlefield 4, ACU, at decent framerates and at 1920x1080 (No need any fancy graphics, I can get along with medium-low graphics :) ).

 

I know my system is highly bottlenecked , shold I get the FX 6300 and maybe later upgrade my PSU? If so maybe you could show me some good budget PSU's :)

Thank's.

Maybe you can get some more RAM too

Remember to follow your threads and quote members whose help you want :)

 

 

No way! You need to re-make your whole PC to play ACU! And you need a budget of around 2000$, without peripherals!

 

A 980 can barely run it!

 

As for Battlefield 4, upgrade your CPU and RAM, and you might want to look at some used R9 2XX series GPU's, or 79/78XX GPU's :D
