ok i am debating between an xbox one and upgrading my PC (for the same price as an xbox one)

My current set up is

Intel Code i5 750
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3, Intel P55
1GB XFX HD 5850, PCI-E 2.0(x16)
8GB (4x2GB) Corsair XMS3 DDR3 PC3-1
650W Antec True Power New 650

I also have a Samsung HD103SJ hard drive.

I was thinking about getting a Crucial M500 240GB SATA 6Gb for my OS and then putting my games etc on the Samsung drive.

Will the CPU, Mobo and RAM last a while longer, or is it time to upgrade them too?

I assume i need a new GFX card, what is the best mid level one these days??

My monitor is a Dell (i think it's a 2005fpw) running at 1680 x 1050. If i could get away with saving the money on CPU, Mobo and RAM, id be tempted to get a new monitor.

Any pointers would be much appreciated, thanks :)
 
Is the MSI R9 270 still one of the better graphics cards? Are ATI much better than nVidia these days??
 
Is there much point in going for a 270x over a 270??

I'll have a look at an after market cooler for the 750, any recommendations?
