Hi everyone 
The times of my HD6850 being a tank and being able to play anything well are over. I've been playing Hitman absolution on quite low settings to get decent framerates, and I'm honestly sick of it.
I have the chance to get a used XFX HD6850 (Same as mine) for £75 off a friend which is very good because with the right CPU that's GTX570/80 level performance for another £75, but I understand this setup would be quite badly bottlenecked by my CPU... BUT I plan on upgrading my CPU in the near future :/
Basically the question is, would the £75 be worth it for now, is there something better that I could do with the money, and would HD6850 xFire be bottlenecked by the FX6300/4300 (OC to hell)..?
Side note : I've also been looking at getting a SSD, but I'm mainly a gamer, and loading times don't bother me all that much, so would a 120gb HyperX SSD be a better buy over a 2nd 6850..?
Sorry for the long post, If you've just read all that, I salute you
