Hey guys, I've came to you with posts like these in years past and you always help me tremendously. I haven't upgraded much with my PC in a few years now, and I'm thinking the best bet for value performance will be a GPU and/or CPU upgrade.
My current specs:
XFX HD-695X-CNFC Radeon HD 6950 2GB
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz
BIOSTAR A770E3 (AM3 cpu slot)
Samsung 250 GB SSD with Windows 7, with games on a 3 TB Toshiba SATA drive
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
With a quick glance at newegg for graphics cards, they have a good deal on the Nvidia GTX 970 4 GB with Witcher 3 and Batman for $330. I know that quite on the higher end, but I could definitely consider that, unless a CPU upgrade will be important, then I might want to find more of a middle ground.
I'm open for any suggestions - thanks as always!
