PC upgrade help

[Kyron1121]

hello my pc right now is a follows 

AMD FX 6300 (not overclocked)

CoolerMaster hyper 103 cpu cooler

8gb ddr3 1600 Mhz

Gigabyte 970a-d3p moba

R9 270x 2gb with dual x cooler

1tb hdd+500gb hdd 

550w psu

 

this build allows me to play any game i want at pretty good fps but i think its time to start upgrading my pc to play the new games that are coming out in the future 

so my question is what would be the best things to upgrade for the future?.

Maybe get an ssd and upgrade your graphics card.

GPU then CPU (preferably to an i5 which would require a new mobo and maybe ram because AMD's current AM3+ CPUs aren't very good) then SSD.

 

What 550w PSU do you have by the way?

Nah, AM3+ with a decent 4.5Ghz OC isn't TOO bad...still, Zen might be out by the time he acquire the funds for a GPU and CPU upgrade so...doesn't have to be an i5

COOLER MASTER V 550s

I would get a SSD or GPU first, wait for AMD's Zen CPUs to come out and plan a CPU upgrade. Also OC that CPU while you don't upgrade it to avoid CPU bottleneck with the new GPU.

Okay that PSU is fine.

i would oc it but wouldnt my gpu then bottleneck the cpu ?

and would my cpu cooler be good enough to keep it at a good temp ?

CPU bottleneck is the worse, I can tell you by experience, GPU bottleneck is just normal, that's the way it's meant to be.

 

Use MSI Afterburner to see how much CPU your games are using, if it's less than 80%, don't bother with OC, but if you upgrade your video card and get 80%+ CPU usage, then you try some mild OC and check temps to see if it won't burn down your house lol.
