Hey guys, i built my PC around 2 years ago and I think it's due for an upgrade but I just don't know WHAT I should upgrade. I feel like my current set up just can't handle these up and coming games and I don't know what's holding me back (not really wanting to replace every single thing in it if possible).
My specs are :
Windows 7
Gigabyte MOBO Z68A-D3H-B3
8 gigs of ram
GTX 660 TI
Intel i5-2500k 3.3 GHz
600 watt PSU

Please let me know what you guys think when you can!
Thanks.

If you could stretch it to $330 you could get a GTX 970 which would work well with your current PSU. Or maybe look for a used 970 for $300.

For < $300 I would have recommended a R9 290 but it is a power hungry card. Below that is the R9 280x/GTX 770 that wouldn't be much of an upgrade from your 660ti.

600W PSU... which make/model? If it's a good unit it could be used for 660ti sli or could be used for a new more powerful graphics card.

All that the system needs is a GPU upgrade. If you have room you could also buy an aftermarket cooler and OC your i5.
