New card needed

[Subzero85]

Hey guys, im an avid pc gamer, but I find my current rig isn't holding up that well, I currently have

AMD Phenom 965 processor, 3.40 GHz
8gb ddr3 ram
windows 7 64 bit
and a 2gb amd 6950

I may need a new mobo,processor and gpu ?

New cpu and mobo would be the first thing I'd sort out.

Pretty much yes.

What’s your total budget?

What you want ideally is a i5-4690K an intel mobo and then depending on remaining budget, either one of the on offer 290/x or a 970.

You'd be absolutely sorted!

Cheaper option if your mobo can support it is to get a new AMD cpu like the 8320, 8350 or 8370.
