What can the GA-EX58-UD3R still handle?

Currently my specs are

i7 920 2.67 ghz
Nvidia GTS 250
6gb of ram

I'm tired of running into problems with the newer games not wanting to run at all on my pc.

What would be the cheapest route to go?

I really want a gtx 980 and I figure I will need to upgrade the CPU because of bottlenecking a new card, and my power supply and even bump my ram a lil bit.

Can this board still handle all these new upgrades?

I'm on the fence on if I should just build an entire new rig or keep the board and upgrade some stuff but need information on it.

Thanks

If you are interested in overclocking, then you could possibly get some more time out of your platform in addition to a new graphics card.
