Which single part can I upgrade for the best boost in performance?

Intel Core i3-4150 Processor (3M Cache, 3.50 GHz) BX80646I34150

MSI AMD Radeon R9 280, 3GB GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card R9 280 GAMING 3G

G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDR

ASRock H97 Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel H97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s

ssd and if you already have that then ur gpu

[SmG Unreal]

yeah gpu will give the best performance boost but you should get that ssd and i7 cuz why not.

not so great of a choice with the GPU never go with AMD when it comes to GPUS.

don't listen to my brother he had a bad experience with amd cards prolly cause of his shitty motherboard but i use r9 280x and i do not have any problems. Just go with what you think is best dragonrage.

[Ray88]

nothing wrong with amd cards aside from the power consumption, but then again theres the limited ram on nvidia cards

[SmG Dragonrage]

Well, i could get another of the same gpus and run both of them, would that be worth it, or should i just go for a higher end gpu, and if so, which gpu would you recommend for my build?

[Ray88]

tbh theres really nothing to upgrade as a higher tier gpu would be bottlenecked by your gpu
also your mobo doesnt support crossfire

I had the card in for 6 months it ran like dog shit had the right drivers still ran like dog shit and by the way AMD has the worst support with drivers ever. Pretty bad when BF4 was designed to run better with AMD GPUS and it ran like dog shit. The game ran so much better when I put my GTX 780 back in that's just sad I would consider a bad experience like it breaking or the card being doa or it artifacting but no I stuck with that shit for 6 months in hopes it would get better and boy I was wrong I gave them a chance and never again will I buy a single AMD GPU again. The fact that I stuck with the thing for 6 months should tell you guys I really gave it a chance.

Shit his AMD card was so bad it destroyed the period key on his keyboard. God damn.
