Hi, I have an almost 5 years old budget PC which serve me well. But I would like to get more performance with better GPU. I am afraid, that my CPU could cause bottleneck. So I would like to ask, if it is worth to upgrade to 750 Ti, if I will see better perforamance or it isn't worth?

Or overlock HD 5570 with Sapphire TriXX tool?

I would like to get from this old system max. My plan is to buy complete new build in year or two based on i7 skylake, kabylake on cannonlake processor and gpu polaris 10 or gtx 1070 so I won't need to upgrade for next 10 or more years. Thanks for your answers! :)

My specs are:
Motherboard: MSI G41M-26 (LGA 775)
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E6800 3,33GHz (Wolfdale-3M)
Kingston 1333MHz DDR3 RAM
Fortron 350 W Power Supply
Sapphire Radeon HD 5570 2GB DDR3 (650 MHz)
HDD Samsung 5400 rpm
BenQ, max. display resolution 1680x1050

The DDR3 memory makes overclocking the 5570 a waste of thime. The GTX750 really doesn't need 2 fan cooling. You might save a little money by getting a single fan card. But I understand choices might be limited where you are. You will be very happy with that upgrade. Be sure and check BIOS compatibility. The 2 types are EUFI and Legacy. I believe MSI is EUFI. Your motherboard BIOS must match. My PNY is Legacy. They're available either way from different vendors.
