currently I have the AMD 6-core processor (FX-6300) stock cooling and the radeon 260x gfx card. With a budget of around $400~ should I buy an nvidia 970, or the 8-core AMD processor + after market cooler + 8 gigs more of ram?

or what should I do thx buddies

I would get the GTX 970 and an aftermarket cooler.


/e Here's why....

tyvm, edited my post from earlier just in case you didn't see. i'd like your input on that too

Here is the fan you'll want for push/pull on the TX3 ...well forget the 2nd fan they are sold out everywhere, except for Amazon and they're priced at rip off price.

...and for the vid card....what color is your motherboard?

/e Or better yet what motherboard do you have?

lmao matching color doesn't matter too much to me but black
also, buy the tx3 and replace the fan on there with that one is what you mean?
also fairly certain this is mine: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128565&cm_re=amd_am3%2b_motherboard-_-13-128-565-_-Product
