Parts to Upgrade:
Here's a list of components in my currect setup:
I5-2500k
GTX 460 2gb
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM Hard Drive
G.SKILL Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3
MSI P67A-G43 (B3) LGA 1155 Motherboard
Corsair GS600 PSU
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, amazon.com
Location: San Francisco, CA
Parts Preferences: Generally prefer nvidia over Radeon
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: So I'm looking to upgrade 1 component in my now aging system that I built back in 2011 and I automatically think upgrading my graphics card will most help playing games since the GTX 460 is starting to be outdated. So....
Question #1: What would be a good upgrade from my current GTX 460? I've been looking at something like the GTX 750 ti or the GTX 760 but I just started looking and I'm open to any sub $300 nvidia card.
Question #2: Given my system, would I see a lot better improvement upgrading something else like my CPU or getting a SSD?
