What to upgrade?

Killpocalips · August 31, 2016

Hello techs,

Before I begin this is my current rig:

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3

CPU: AMD FX 6300

RAM: 16gbs Hyper X fury

PSU: EVGA 500w

GPU: MSI r7 260x

I've been saving up for awhile now to do some upgrades to my rig. My concerns right now are that my GPU is a piece of poop. Sad. My ideal rig would feature a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 R5 mobo and 2 rx 460 nitros. Unfortunately, I'm poor. Sad. Right now I can only afford the mobo or a single 460. What do you guys think?

I should add, the reason I am looking into a new mobo is that the GA isn't big enough to house two graphics cards and my wireless adapter. That and the new mobo would look incredibly sexy in my blue/black build. The problems I have is that if I buy the mobo I'm not getting a whole lot of upgrade; better audio, sata 3, etc. While on the other hand if I was to buy the nitro now I wouldn't be able to run both GPUs together (I have a dual monitor rig and I like them both having a dedicated card it's just a personal thing). My second monitor currently is running off some crappy old thing I got for free and if I was to buy the nitro I could continue to run the second monitor of that for now.

So yes, either choice has it's ups and downs so I was wondering what the community thought. I'm not currently at home and won't be for a few weeks but I can provide pretty much any information anyone has so feel free to ask questions and such.

Thanks guys!
