     Hello PC Enthusiast Community,

          

          Hey guys i have a question if I should upgrade to a better GPU or wait until i get more cash saved up to upgrade to a new rig and use this rig as a home theater PC. I have about 200.00 saved up right now so that is where i am at, i was thinking of maybe swapping out this GPU for an AMD R9 380, what are your suggestions? Also if i was to swap out my GPU for a better one, what are some ways i can sell my GPU? The only game i play currently is Battlefield 4, and was thinking of buying GTA 5 soon. Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advanced.

                                                                       Your fellow PC Enthusiast,    MyCampGround

That Athlon is on the very edge of bottlenecking the 380. It'll probably be a problem in BF4 multiplayer and the likes, but you should be okay for the most part. 

Also the CX430 might not be up to the task. Again, that's cutting it close.

Yah I was thinking that too what is your opinion on another card?

Personally I'd go with a nvidia card amd cards are like ovens.

To OP: Yeap you'll be quite alright with that card.
