I am new to computer building/upgrading so i have a simple question, i want
to have a decent gaming computer so far everything i have is good but my graphics and processor need to be updated, I'm looking to play high end games like GTA 4 and 5 when its released, BF3/4, Black Ops 2 / Ghost or like payday 2 or Arma 3... ETC.. that and not have a problem with frame rates, im not really going to be playing on highest graphics but it i would need to have like 60+ frames on those type of games, Currently i am looking at getting a new graphics card which is the 560Ti, my friend told me it would be a huge improvement and i was wondering what i should do or what would be better than the 560ti that i should look for on ebay or something thats on sale, Basically what i want to know is will i be able to run those types of games if i just improved my graphics card and then improve my processor whenever i want for more frames. If anyone can give me some help or help me out i would appreciate it.
