I would consider myself very good at computers but I can't decide what to buy!
I was thinking of upgrading my current rig (AMD Chipset am3+)
I'm either going to buy a GTX asus 660 a gtx 660ti or upgrading my cpu (Amdphenom II x4 BE) to a 8350fx.
I honestly don't know what I should upgrade. I play a lot of GTA IV (Heavily modded) and other FPS's like BF3 and need a rig for when BF4 comes around. Thanks in advance guys. Also I'm wondering if I should pick up an ssd.
Okay well those games are pretty CPU intensive, especially with mods but the phenom is solid so it doesn't matter too much either way. And yes pick up an ssd
I'd pick up a 670. Forget the SSD for now. It wont help games much anyway.
what is your budget?
How can we say anything valid when you do not want to say how much money you are looking to spend?
Well 200-300 bucks sounds reasonable.
For $300, I would pick up a 7950
Just make sure your PSU can handle any upgrades you install.
wich motherboard you have right now? its also an inportant thing to know.
What kind of graphics card are you currently using? And if you are considering a 660 or 660 Ti, then the Radeon HD 7870 XT is a good choice instead.

I have a 6870, it's okay but I desperately need a new upgrade.
