Currently I have a Athlon X2 240 2.8GHZ @ 3.5GHZ. (really, really old..) It's been a decent processor but its age is really showing. My motherboard is a Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+. CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. The memory is G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory. GPU is a Asus R7260X-DirectCU II OC-2GD5. PSU is a EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze . Case is a Corsair Graphite Series 230T Black. I obviously need a CPU upgrade, but i also want to upgrade my GPU. For the CPU I was gong to go with a FX 6300 OC'd of course, or a 8320 and OC it to 4.0. For the GPU I really want a the new Nvidia 900 series. My choices are 960, 960ti, (neither of these have been released yet.) Or the 970. The 980 is just to much money in my opinion. I need help picking the best configuration so the will be as little bottleneck as possible. Also if i'd have to ugrade my PSU as well. My current resolution is 1024x768 (i know its really bad...) After i upgrade my main components i'll buy a 1920 x 1080 Asus monitor. Any help would be much appreciated.

. The setup will last you quite a bit, but the FX line is already falling behind intel, even the Intel dual core's hold out on cards longer than FX, but the FX line is still good. I would recommend OC'ing later on to help with performance in the future.
