Motherboard & CPU

[Loxa]

That's a nice card - I installed one in a friend's system a few months ago and it happily chomps through modern games and looks good doing it.

If that is the OP's budget for a graphics card then that is the one I would go for, considering their uses.

To the OP: May I ask what MMOs in particular you are playing? With Wow a pretty low-end GPU is generally OK and a more powerful CPU is often useful. However, with something like TOR a powerful GPU is much more important (see here), while a pretty basic CPU is fine.

So with my current specs its makes more sense to upgrade my GPU? I play League of Legends, Archlord, C9, Aion on the odd ocassion UT3

Are you having any performance issues in League of legends, archlord, c9 or UT3? These games seem to have relatively low hardware requiremends and/or are quite old.

As for Aion, this is a game built on the cryengine (the same one used by crysis) - so you can expect it to be relatively resource intensive if you turn things up - with main focus on the graphics card.

Thanks for all the great feedback from everyone
