So i've recently got a new case dusted all components preformed software scans and nothing both my friends think my rig is still solid but right now ive been running all games on very low to avoid FPS drops

My computer:

Intel core i7 960 @3.20ghz
GTX560 ti
8gb ddr3 ram
Sabertooth x58 motherboard
800w psu
h100 watercooled cpu
running at 1080p

Now I do also have dual monitors one screen is a crappy 19" at 720p I would really like to keep both monitors so if I have to upgrade I will but I would hope to keep it at around 150USD

Thanks!
 
Well, it's old. And can't really run too many games on higher than medium. A lot of games not even on that. Since you have a 800W psu, you could get another GTX560Ti somewhere for cheap (used) and SLI them for extra power. A good quality 800W psu should be able to power them both without problems.

That will give you a bit boost for comparatively cheap while letting you to save up for whole new system.
 


Of course, Except the cpu, you need new motherboard at the same time too of course.
But I'm not sure if it's the wisest move in your situation.

It might be best in your case to get that another GTX560Ti and save up enough money to buy majority of new parts at once.
You can use the 560Ti SLI in the new build while you wait and save up for new gpu.
