What should be Upgraded ?

[WorstPcExpert]

Hello, let's be quick here, for there are thousands of topics like this.
My rig :AMD Anthlon x4 740,
FM2A78M-DG3 Mobo,
radeon hd 7770 1gb ,
cx 600M PSU,
1080p monitor.

I'm a gamer (MMOs, Single players, you name it!). What should be upgraded first? And to what?

P.S. Any chance being featured in Wan Show Build Logs with this beauty? Kappa

How much money do you have to spend on upgrades?

I don't care about the budget. i know i can't put gtx 980 with that CPU . I was thinking about getting 970 or r9 280(X) , just to have semi stable 40-60FPS in games with settings higher than LOW . Not sure if CPU is THAT bad, Currently i can play witcher 3 on LOWEST graphics and post proccesing settings at 20-30FPS, but it strangely peaks at 30. Still game looks great for lowest setting.

Your CPU could be better, but its not the end of the world. I would just grab the next R9 280x you see on sale. It's not worth swapping it now, but it's a shame you didn't get an X4 750K because overclocking the snot out of it would have helped you tremendously.

Speaking about AMD GPUs. Won't the 380 or so come with HBM? Or will they just be same rebrands , and have minimal superiority over previous gen ? For example 380x ~ 280x

Only the 'titan level' GPU will feature HBM. Everything else will simply be enhanced Hawaii GPUs with a die shrink, featuring GDDR5 memory. You could say its similar to how both the GTX 600 and 700 series were Kepler variants, one simply a revision/enhancement  of the other.

Well you can upgrade to a 860K if the Mobo allows it or buy a new mobo and cpu. 

GPU is decent but more VRAM one could be good. =D
