Hi, I'm having some issues figuring out how to upgrade my pc to be a beast on games like fallout. I'm willing to spend up to $600 Australian dollars however I can only buy one part at a time. At the moment I can barely run Fallout 4 on low and can't run the witcher 3 at a playable frame rate and want to at least be playing on medium graphics settings and eventually end playing on ultra. Any build suggestions and the order of importance to buy. This is a budget build so The best possible performance for my machine for as little as possible.

 

my current PC Specs:

CPU: Intel core 17 860 @ 2.8GHz

Graphics card: dual Saphhire 5850's in crossfire 1024MB Vram each

Motherboard: ASRock P55 Extreme 

Ram: DDR3 8gb dual 4gb cards (don't know what they are)

 

I'll add a Picture of other information im not sure is or isn't important.post-280591-0-65170500-1447195843_thumb.

Yup. buy a 390.

If you make a post contradicting mine that doesn't directly address my claims, or cites 'facts' without evidence, I'm probably not going to bother responding to it, because you probably didn't bother reading my post properly, and because life is too short. It doesn't mean I don't have an answer for you. It means I'm not dignifying you with a response.

Cheers guys. Originally I was going to get a r9 390 along with some other parts. I was going to get an Intel i7 4790K for the cpu but I don't know much about motherboards and was wondering if I should upgrade to something like a MSI S1150 ATX Z97-GAMING-3 Motherboard or just leave it as is. Also is my current 750w power supply enough to handle a 390 and eventually a new cpu?
