No problem mate.

Which parts would you want to buy and what would your budget be?

Yes the GTX 760 is a good GPU. One of the best for 250$. It's more expensive though,

being newer and more powerful than the Boost.

The GTX 650 Ti Boost is a very capable card; in SLI too.

You may need a PSU with more wattage though and your motherboard would also

require an upgrade by the looks of it. SLI can be worth it. At least having the option to do it.

Suggest getting an SLI motherboard and that GPU. Then once you start requiring more

frames, you SLI it.

For SLI, you'll need:

- SLI capable motherboard

- PSU with enough wattage (typically something like 750W, but you might get by on 650W perhaps).

- SLI ready GPUs

- Enough space and cooling in case


The GPUs must have these things in common:

1 - Be the same GPU (GTX 650 Ti Boost with another identical card)

2 - Have the same amount of VRAM (GPU A with 1GB VRAM can't go with GPU B with 2GB)


I also don't know when there might be a price drop. Often it's around the new

release of other GPUs. There's been rumors of a GTX 790, but that might still not mean you'll

see a discount.
