I am planning on purchasing a new monitor (switching from 720p to 1080) and would like to update my graphics card on my gaming pc. Should I wait for nVidia's new 800 series cards to come out. What's the best card I can get without bottle necking due to my psu or cpu. Is my motherboard too old for the newer cards?
Here are my specs:
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-V LX LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
RAM:CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9
CPU: Core i5 3570K 3.4GHz Socket LGA 1155 Boxed Processor
Graphics: EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready
PSU: SeaSonic M12II 520 Bronze 520W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS 12V v2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active
Storage: 1 TB WD Caviar & 120 GB Kingston SSD
Thanks for your advice and if anyone can recommend a good monitor that would be appreciated as well. Are those 1440p Korean monitors any good?
