So I have a pretty lame PC and I'm planning on completely upgrading it, and I'm not really afraid of the cost, however It's going to take a while to get all of the parts.
My current parts are:
My current parts are:
CPU: Intel - Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Video Card: MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-B85M-D3V
RAM: #1: Hynix 4GB PC3-12800 DDR3- 1600MHz
#2: G.SKILL Value 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Power Supply: SolyTech ATX SL-F400 400W Switching Desktop Power supply
Case: NZXT CA-PH240-W1 White Steel
Since I can't buy all my new parts at once, I want to gradually upgrade individual parts of my old PC. Since upgrading the CPU to a newer I7 would require a new Motherboard, possibly a new purchase of Windows, and the CPU, I think buying a new Video Card first is the best option.
My question is: Would a high end Video Card like a GTX 1080 Ti be compatible with the other parts I listed above (obviously replacing the GTX 750 Ti), and would it provide a large enough boost in performance even with a huge bottleneck for it to be worth buying first?
