Hi,

Currently I have a i5 2500K, 8 GB ram, 560Ti Graphics, 128gb SSD.

All I use this machine for is web browsing and gaming.

Games played:

CS:GO
World of warcraft.

The current set up can sometimes struggle a bit in WoW on max settings so I was wanting to potentially upgrade.

I have a second 560Ti card in another rig I don't use and was thinking of having 2 cards with SLI?

Then potentially OC my CPU and add another 8 gig ram.

Thoughts? Is it worth spending a bit on this rig and keep it going for another couple years or build something new.

Thanks!!

Yes as long as your psu can hang it do sli, or go with the new 970 or 980s that take less power

Thanks for the help, what variant of the 970 would you recommened?

Is there a difference between gigabyte and asus and evga?

Or are they the same card with different brand?

New card arrived today but realized its PCI 3.0 and my board only supports 2.0......(current Board Asus P8Z68-V)

Can someone recommend a board to suit the GTX970, would it be worthwhile upgrading my CPU at the same time or just keep using the i5 2500K?

Ram is Mushkin Blackline 2x4GB DDR3
