Need tips on what to upgrade next

My computer specs are:

Windows 7 Ultimate (64)
Processor: AMD A10-7850K Radeon R7

RAM: 8gb

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-F2A78M-D3H

Power source: AcTeck Blazar AF-B600P

 

I'm currently upgrading (more like getting) a new graphics card, the ASUS Geforce GTX 750ti, but I'm not sure what to upgrade after that, any help guys?

GPU then gpu again then cpu. (I.e. You should save up a bit longer and get a much better gpu, and then just upgrade to a better cpu when you can afford it).

/and a new psu and an ssd.

I would go for a stronger GPU not the 750Ti.

The rest seems fine as long as you only want to play games with it.

Something like a GTX 960 should fit your system really nice.

 

And like djdwosk97 already mentioned i also would throw in smth like a 120GB ssd for Windows.

Whats your total budget and location? (and what would your budget be....in say two weeks...or a month?)

Also, quote or @420BlazeItNoScopeKillcam people so they get a notification.

Well, in terms of performance: 

R9 290x / GTX970 > R9 290 > R9 280x > GTX960/GTX770/R9 285 > R9 280/GTX760 > R9 270/R9 270x > R7 260x / GTX 750Ti 

 

So, I'd get the best card you can afford -- keeping in mind, that the R9 280/x would be the sweet spot for current/future performance -- although your cpu will hold back an R9 280x depending on the game.

@djdwosk97 Does my motherboard support those? I don't know how to check myself

Yes. Your motherboard will support any gpu you want, but the cpu will still bottlneck anything higher than an R9 270 in some (possibly many) instances.

 

The better question is whether your psu or case is compatible, as thats a pretty bad psu and should be replaced along with a gpu upgrade.

Your motherboard supports them, they are all the same PCIE connector, what may not support a video card is your PSU, from what I have seen in Antek the advertised 600W is not the real capacity.

Mystery is the source of all true science.

AcTeck, not Antec, Antec usually isn't bad.

Could you recommend me a PSU? How powerful should it be?

A 500w would suffice. (430w would be fine for anything below and including an R9 270x)

And any recommendation would be dependent on local pricing.....But, Corsair, Cooler Master, Antec, BeQuiet, Fractal Design, NZXT, XFX, Silverstone, Seasonic, EVGA all make (mostly) good PSUs.
