So, while I was dusting my computer out today, I kinda figured it's high time I upgrade it. Not to be a HUGE powerhouse PC, but a PC that is powerful enough to run a good bit of the games at high graphics (if that makes sense). So I'm wondering: What are some good products I should look into for making my current rig a good gaming rig?

If you're on a budget, go AMD, both for the CPU and the GPU. That's the best advice I can give you.

That's what I was thinking about doing. Any good AMD you recommend? I mainly want to be able to run some of my games I have on my computer (like Red Orchestra 2, DayZ, and a few others) at better settings then what I have now.

Hard to tell without knowing your budget, but a 280 and a FX-8320 won't be expensive, and will be able to handle all those games and more, maxed out. I have a 7870 xt and I can max them out.
