Hello folks,

I have some extra money to spend on upgrading  my PC and I need some advices about that. ^_^

My current PC is :

Intel Q9650 @ 4.0Ghz(CPU), 4Gigs (RAM), AMD Radeon 7870(GPU), 500w Chieftec (PSU)

 

Would be better if I upgrade my rig with 980 GTX  (and new psu if I need it?)

Or

If I upgrade my CPU,MB,RAM,SDD( that would be i5-4690k,Z97 motherboard  ,8Gigs (RAM) and SDD) and stay with my old gpu and psu till i have money to upgrade them too?

 

Its about same price I have about 450-500 Euros ( sorry i am from EU :))

What would affect more on performance of my pc (%)?

 

Its gaming rig, playing mostly MOBA-s (dota2,lol) , WoW, Dragon Age Inquisition , Assasins creed Unity,Bioshock, Battlefield 3,4 etc..

 

(sorry for my bad english if u see it, not my native language)

 

 

Thank you :)

I have no idea what that cpu is but if it has 4 cores then get a 980. If it doesn't I would get everything else and suck up poor gaming performance (compared to 980) for faster everything else and pick up the latest gfx later. (Gtx 9999 R10 420)

Upgrade the CPU/Mobo//Ram first to avoid bottlenecks. Don't get an SSD and then get a GTX 970 later on.
