Hey looking for some help on what to upgrade next i have about 800$ +/- 10$ computer specs are in the signature.

Thanks a bunch
 
CPU and graphics card.

I suggest the 960t quadcore. I have one and it overclocks very well. Get an aftermarket cooler as well.

After that, you have about $675 for a graphics card, so your choices are unlimited. Nothing else really needs to be upgraded.

Upgrade to maybe a 6990 or GTX 560Ti and a quad-core processor (955 or 965 maybe?)
 
with 800 i'd say grab a 7970 and a 960t, that's only about 710 if you get the overclocked xfx one with dual fans.
 
hmm sounds great i just need to find a local reseller as i dont buy much online :S thanks for all the help? 960 over a 980 or 1100T?
 
for the price yeah, for the price of a 980 or 970 you could get a 960t and a cooler and overclock it further than the others are clocked, but they will overclock better. as far as a reseller, i'd see if there are any micro centers near, their prices are pretty good normally.
 
he like them overclocked even though for gaming it is completely useless and if doing something else it might be decent but i still don't like them.
 
either way i'd make sure to spend the little extra on a decent cooler like the 212 plus, or a good bit and go liquid, either way you'll be past 4.5ghz.
 
Thats the 8120 not the 8150. The power consumption is not enormous unless your overclocking out of the rear end. Stock its less or near the same as the Phenom II X6 and it has 8 cores. It overclocks way better with less voltage then the 960T. You can get around 3.8/4.0ghz with stock voltage.
 
StrangleHold so your saying get the x6? i'm confused i have the power for anything also what about a v6gt or the v8 cooler?
