Hey everyone. My GPU is great, but very outdated, a GTX 285 (doesn't even have DX11). I'm looking to upgrade so I can get better performance out of my games and I'm just wondering if its worth it with all of my other parts. I don't have a lot to drop so I was just thinking of getting a 760 / 860 (if they're decently priced) sometime later this year.
Anyways Currently I have an
-i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz (non-OC'd)
-EVGA X58 SLI LE Motherboard (PCI-e 2.0, no USB 3.0)
-6 GB 1600 RAM (Clocked at either 1066 or 1333, because I haven't OC'd my processor)
-800 W PSU
-EVGA GTX 285 (mentioned above).
I'm sure I'll see a bit of a bottleneck from the lack of PCI-e 3.0 and an older generation of i7, but I was wondering if it would still be worth it to upgrade.
