GPU upgrade

[CinderzFTW]

Hi all,

I have a chance to upgrade my GPU and want some ideas.

Around £140ish is my budget!

Current specs:

AMD FX6350 hex core 3.9/4.2
Gigabyte Ga-970A-DS3P
8GB Avexir Core Yellow 1600mhz
HD7870 2GB
128gb ssd
2tb hdd
PSU: XFX PRO550W

My 6350 is at 4.2ghz all the time atm,

I already have a Cooler Master Seidon 120M hydro cooler

And yes, I am playing at 1080p on a Packard Bell Viseo 27" monitor via hdmi cable

How much better is the 8 core over the 6 core mind, as games don't utilise 8 cores

plus no point going crossfire as my board only runs a 16/4 on that setup on the lanes, so no point
