Hello, I tried posting earlier, but I think that when I created my account it did not post the message. Apologies if this is a repost.
I built my 2nd PC in 2012, reused an old 19" Samsung 941BW monitor from 2006, and am now updating to an ASUS vs247hp and am likely to purchase a 2nd monitor for dual setup to placate my wife.
am likely to get a 2nd monitor, and am considering upgrading the graphics card in the near future to an EVGA GTX 760, or 770 if the price drops significantly $300. What other significant bottlenecks would be present, which would or might render the graphics upgrade moot?

MB: MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) Z68 LGA1155 R
Graphics: EVGA|01G-P3-1561-AR GTX560 1G R
PSU: CORSAIR| CMPSU-750AX 750W RT
CPU INTEL|CORE I5 2500K 3.3G 6M R
MEM 4Gx2 GSKILL F3-10666CL9D-8GBSR
SSD 120G|CORSAIR CSSD-F120GBGT-BK R (used for OS and 'favorite' games.
HD 250G|ST 7K 8M SATA2 ST3250820AS (not-so-mass storage from previous build
CD BURN SONY|CRX230EE/B2
CPU COOLER CM| RR-B10-212P-G1 RT
One concern I have with my current build is that a fairly high-pitched screech/whine/grating noise becomes exceptionally audible when the graphics card is under load (solely in game, and immediately upon starting I think). The annoying LED's in the case/fans make it easy to see that it isn't an 'obvious' wire dangling into a fan etc.
