    Hi there

    I was wondering if it would be worth it upgrading my graphics card while I'm getting a SSD as I have the extra money :P

    My current rig is

    I5 3550(I know the CPU isn't the overclockable version)
    HIS 7850 1GB
    8GB Ram

    If it's worth it, what graphics card would you recommend for about 200-300Euro?

    A 660 is more of a side step from where you are that a real upgrade though. You have the budget for something like a HD7950, which although is a decent improvement over a HD7850, isn't exactly orders of magnitude better. Personally I'm not convinced an upgrade is really all that worthwhile as you have a pretty decent card, and would be waiting at least another generation IMO. Unless you are really unhappy with current performance in certain game of course.

    No I'm happy with the preference, guess I'll just get an SSD than probably get a 256GB with the extra money :)
