GTX 690 and Q9550

Hi! The money you are planning on spending on the GTX 690 can get your 2 AMD HD 7970 that can OC and beat GTX 690 or 2 GTX 670 that can also OC and beat GTX 690. And you will still have some to buy yourself Intel Core i5 3570K that you can put aside and buy a motherboard for it later. Or you can just get a single AMD HD7970, Core i5 3570K, 8GB RAM 1600MHz, CPU cooler, and an SSD 120GB for the price of one GTX 690. Think about it. You can have your PC right away if you spend wisely. And if you don't like AMD HD 7970 which is the best price/performance then you can just grab GTX 670 and still add those parts and you cab SLI it later when you sell your current rig. Cheers!

With that money I would get an i5 with a z77 board and a 7970

Thanks for the quick reply guys.
But how much of a bottleneck do you think my current processor will be?
Like I said I will be upgrading in the near future and money won't be an issue. Just want to see if I should wait until I do the full upgrade (in June) or if I will see some real benefits with my current PC.

Thanks again!

Thanks so much for your input!
