My  current rig

fx 6100 (overclocked too 3.4ghz that all my motherboard will let me)

Asus Radeon HD7770 2GB

8gb (2 4gb) ripsaw 1600 ram 

hhd 1tb

hhd 500gb

Asrock n68c-gs fx Motherboard 

500w ps

 

What i was thinking of upgrade,was adding a second hd 7770 (I can get used for 100) and ASUS M5A97 LE, AM3+ (I can get used for 50) So I can overclock my cpu too 4.1ghz  and it will support crossfire for the second gpu. I’m not looking to put a lot  of money into it just looking to increase its life. I’m going to do a new fresh build soon, and this will be a secondary rig. Thank you for any help.

i would just use the 150$ to get the most powerful GPU you can get, and sell the 7770

I would get a GTX 1050 personally...this is litterally twice as fast as the 7770 and you can get one for 115$ online

if you can get a used card around that price that perform better than the 1050 it would be even better.

What would you suggest for a used card too look for? The 1060 is still around 200 used, what would be a good older card that is still good?
