My first post to the forums so sorry If I mess this up, I will type out my spec and what Im wanting to upgrade and tell me if its worth it, I though I would put it in this part of hardware as I think my graphics will need updated the most.

My System specs

fx bulldozer 6100 3.3ghz got it running around 3.9/4.0ghz
8gigs corsair vengeance ram 1600mhz

my motherboard is = http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/M5A97
/
Monitor is = http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-005-AO so its capable of running on crossfire :)

and my current gpu is = https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-131-MS&tool=3

Before you's lot say anything I was using it with my previous cpu q6600, it finally gone out of the window hence the upgrade to the bulldozer.


So I want to know my options on which gpu to go for, I mainly play battlefield 3 as everyone else now a days, But i want to play with higher graphics instead of low, and still get over 60fps but id rather not spend over £250, If i can how ever get 2 lower cards for the same price that gives better performance let me know. preferable something newer than =

XFX ATI Radeon HD 6870 Black Edition 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card


Sorry in advance I may not have got my point across thanks in advance
 
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply is my power supply, I dont mind upgrading the cpu and mobo to something else as ive allready got the ram etc if it would make a big difference
 
so if i get a new cpu and mobo, it would be a faster upgrade that just getting the graphics card?

edit = which mobo would be the best keep in mind i would prefer a cheaper one, but good enough to get a stable overclock
