Need a new GPU and Processor
I need to get a new GPU but I am not sure what to get. My budget is around £150 (I can go over a bit). I will be using it for rendering videos and playing games like Minecraft, TF2, DayZ and BF4.
I am also looking for a new Processor! Budget around £150. Suggestions would be nice

I'm confused by this part... Why is it not saying which gpu it is? It's acting like it is a integrated chip (which it is not). And showing ATI? I can only assume it is a low end r7 (240/250?)
If it's anything higher, then there would be no need to upgrade? And really, a 240/250 would run those games, maybe on low, but it'd run them..

Why u do dis.
I think he means the speed, that's pretty slow for some modern sticks of RAM :p
That and 16GB of it? What are you using your computer for?
You don't wanna know xD. Lol jk I didn't build the pc a family member built it for me and I have now found out it isn't rly the best that's why I am upgrading nearly everything.

You already have the second most powerful cpu that motherboard can handle. The 760k runs slightly faster but isn't worth the upgrade. If you want a faster CPU you will have to upgrade to either a AM3+ socket CPU or a 1150 socket CPU which would also mean getting a new motherboard and a new copy of Windows since your OS is linked to the motherboard.
Thou, the RAM is actually 1333mhz it just gets displayed as half that because its dual channel.

I understand, but 16gb with the rest of those specs... just curious as to what he's doing that he would need it.
What is your current CPU? The best upgrade would be getting an Athlon X4 760k.Also, what is your PSU?
I'm not quite sure. Someone built the pc for me.
Can you run Speccy and tell us the results?

Hmmm.. Not familiar with FM2 chipsets so I'll let Randomness handle it.
What motherboard do you have? Can't recommend a new CPU if we don't know your mobo.
If you're overclocking and using Intel, this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-c ... 646i54670k
If not overclocking Intel, use this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54670
If AMD, use this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/amd-cpu-fd8350frhkbox

For a new processor, what's your budget?
It says in OP.
Ah cool thanks!
This would be great for a little over that budget. It'll run 60 FPS ultra on BF4.

Looks good I will probably get this unless I see something better. Thanks
I edited original post explaining what games I will be playing.
the gtx650ti should be in your priceclass
its a solid card that should be able to run all games for the next few years

650ti?? Really? He should be getting a 750ti at minimum. Wouldn't be surprised if the 650 struggles to play the newest version of minesweeper.
Saying that you're going to play games doesn't really help
What kind of games?
And rendering videos is irrelevant to this topic, I'm pretty sure that's all on the CPU.
