So I have come across some extra money and I want to upgrade my gaming computer. I have an Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40 GHz LGA1155 CPU, nvidia ge-force gtx 660 TI 2gig, ULTRA LSP750 750W ATX POWER SUPPLY, Corsair High Perform Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz2x4, MSI Z77MA-G45 Intel Z77 Socket Motherboard, and a 2tb wd hard drive. It's runs really well but idk if I have something that I shouldn't or if I should get something better . I can run max graphics on most games but I guess you can always do better. Just curious of where to go from here with my current rig. Thanks for any input.

Frankly, unless you want absolutely all the graphics maxed at all times on all games, stick with that GPU and get an SSD.

Trust me, even if you were running a crappy atom CPU, the change will rock your world.

I mean you don't have to upgrade anything unless you're unhappy with your PC. If you do want to upgrade though, your GPU is pretty underpowered compared to the rest of your build, and you're not going to be maxing out games at 1080p or above with that card. It depends on what your budget for an upgrade is though to recommend a GPU.

Well I don't have $1000.00 for a new gpu but I can spend quite a bit. I didn't know if sli would be better or a new card. I don't play much newer games , I am a little slow at getting to new titles lol I'm playing fallout 3 now .
