Hey guys. Was hoping I could get some advice on whether or not it'd be a good time to upgrade my CPU. I'm thinking of getting a new Nvidia GTX 980. I've got a 580 at the moment, and its starting to struggle with a lot of newer games.
Are the 980's such a big leap over the 580s? Price wise, is it a good time now to make the jump. What about the 970 instead? I can afford the 980, but I'd go for the best if its worth it.
Another factor is the power. From what I've read, the 980s actually use a lot less power than my 580, despite being more powerful. Should it work fine with the rest of my setup?
Here's everything in my current setup.
Corsair 16G (4x4GB) Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 DDR3
Intel Core i7 2600K Processor LGA1155 3.4GHz CPU
Asus P8Z68-V PRO Socket 1155 Intel Z68 Chipset
Crucial RealSSD C400 128G SATA3 M4 Series
Western Digital Blue 500G SATA3 HDD Caviar Blue
Antec 620W High Current Gamer Modular PSU
Fractal Design Define R3 Case Arctic White edition
Noctua NH-C12P SE14 CPU Cooler
eVGA GTX580 1536MB SuperClocked 797Mhz PCIE
thanks a lot.
