Hi guys, thanks for viewing my thread.
I'm just curious as to what you think I should upgrade next on my PC. I mainly use it for Gaming as well as video editing and music creation and recording.

Specs are:

Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 Asus Direct CUII OC edition (2gb)
AMD FX 8320
16gb Ram (Unknown model)
Gigabyte 78LMT AM3+ Mobo
Corsair 600w Bronze PSU

The latest thing I upgraded was my CPU, before that my GPU. I'm thinking I should upgrade my MOBO to something a little better so I can overclock my CPU and even GPU more than I can on this current board which seems a little unstable when I try to overclock.
If so, what mobo do you think I should upgrade to?

Thanks for any help guys, I appreciate it!
 
Depends on your budget and what res you game at but I would consider a new GPU as well as a motherboard. I would probably do GPU first actually. Can you not OC your CPU on the current mobo ?

I assumed someone would mention the GPU, surprisingly enough I find this card more than adequate for gaming, for the time being at least. I play games at 1080p and I'd say 90% games I play I can play maxed out or at least high settings, it's an incredible card.

Yeh I read a few places that my MOBO is pretty awful for overclocking and becomes unstable, shame because I am currently running my 8320 at stock 3.5ghz but would like to be able to boost this up to 4Ghz+. Hoping someone could confirm that as I would like to know before splashing out for a new one haha. Mind you they're not exactly expensive really are they.
Thanks man.
