Hello! This is my second post on the website and this website has assisted quite well last year in creating my custom desktop. I am currently planning on upgrading some things such as my video card, RAM, Processor(maybe), and hard drive. I have many questions if the community doesn't mind responding. Let me being with giving you my specs:
Ram - 8gb
Processor - Intel i5-4670K 3.4ghz
Motherboard - Asus Z87-A
Graphics Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 760
Power Supply - CX600M
Hard Drive - 1 TB
So I have a few questions;
1. Should I upgrade my Graphics Card or SLI?
2. Should I get an SSD?
3. Should I upgrade my processor?
Thank you for all your help!

No. Your current 600 watt PSU would power both the new graphics card and the new processor. The GTX9xx series cards use less power than previous generation cards. I already gave you my thoughts on the processor upgrade.

1) Possibly upgrade to a GTX970/GTX980. SLI would likely require a new power supply.
2) I don't see any reason not to. That's a coin toss in my opinion.
3) No. The cost of a higher-end processor is not justified by the limited performance increase.

Hello Wolf! So SLI is out of the question, anyways. Since I'm probably going to upgrade to EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0 since it's much better than my current Graphics Card, do you think I should upgrade to i7 4790k? If so, I presume I'll have to get a new Power supply, do you agree?
