Okay i have been thinking what i should do. I have a build that pretty old (2008 i think) and it has been good but now its time to upgrade but i dont have the budget to do it all so i need help to decide what would give me the best result.

Currently
EVGA 780i tri-Sli mobo
Core 2 Duo E6850
4 gig of DDR2 Ram
2x GTX 260 running SLI
2x 250gig HD running Raid 0
(recently purchased 1000w ocz Power supply)

So BACK in the day this setup was BEAST but right now it runs game at about medium in 1920x1080

So, I was thinking that if i get a new graphics card which will probably be a Radeon but then i thought maybe my setup will be bottle necked by the cpu/ram.

The question is should i go ahead and buy like a 7870 or 7950 and be happy for now or will that be a waste?

OR

Buy new MOBO/CPU/RAM and possibly that will give me a nice bump that i am looking for??

Honestly you would have to upgrade your entire build. You could get a new GPU but it would be bottlenecked pretty hard by your CPU. And if you bought a new CPU you would have to get new RAM/MOBO as well
