Help me pick my next upgrade.
So, i don't know what i want to do next. Currently i am running two HDDs at a total of 375GB. I was thinking about either getting a new SSD or upgrading my graphics card.
Currently i am running an i5-3750k @ 3.40ghz cpu with a Radeon HD 7700 gpu. Its powered by a 500w PSU.
I have gotten away from console gaming and tend to find myself playing a lot of games on my pc. For around $200 what would be my best upgrade for gaming wise? TIA

wait two more weeks because AMD is releasing their new cards
Posted on 9/29/13 at 7:56 pm to bluebarracuda
Yeah, i saw that. Plan on ordering on the 15th. Will the new card really boost the gaming for me? Or should i buy a new SSD instead. What exactly would a new ssd do?
Btw, thank god i have you guys. y'all have taught me a lot about PCs

I would be tempted to get an ssd especially since you are short on storage
Posted on 9/29/13 at 8:04 pm to Mr Gardoki
Yeah, see that is what i thought too. But, besides storage what else does an SSD do? I have a external hard drive docking station, so i can always add some space if need be.
Posted on 9/29/13 at 8:05 pm to GeauxTime9
with your current graphics card, you should upgrade that first
Posted on 9/29/13 at 8:06 pm to GeauxTime9
I would get a 1TB HDD before I got an SSD. No need in getting another small drive.
Before all of that though I could get a better GPU.
You can get an HDD for $60

Changes your life. If you have storage options then go graphics first but an ssd should be around the corner for you

hd7700 doesn't exist to my knowledge. Radeon starts their products with the xx30 line.

Thats weird. My pc says i have an AMD Radeon HD 7700 series GPU.
Posted on 9/29/13 at 8:11 pm to GeauxTime9
Fail on my part. I have the 7750...just the 7700 series...Sorry about that
Posted on 9/29/13 at 8:12 pm to GeauxTime9
Okay, so if i bump up to the 7950 will i experience any bottlenecking? My CPU is a i5 3750k @ 3.40 ghz.
Posted on 9/29/13 at 8:14 pm to GeauxTime9
No that cpu is fine
Posted on 9/29/13 at 8:19 pm to jcole4lsu
I will add on to that and say the CPU is more than fine. You have zero reason to upgrade that.
