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 PSU may become an issue. I would look at getting a higher powered one alongside the GPU upgrade. If you're on a tight budget then look into something from XFX since they're rebranded Seasonic units.
