Looking to upgrade my GPU for i5-2500k PC build
A couple of years ago I decided to build my own PC to use for gaming with the following components...
-EVGA GTX 560 GPU
-Intel i5-2500k processor (clocked at 3.3GHz)
-Gigabyte Z77M-D3H motherboard
-OCZ 500W modXstream-pro power supply
-8GB ram
- HDD: 1TB WD blue & SSD: 128GB Sandisk
(All running on Win7 professional 64bit)

This build has been working great for me thus far but recently I've had to lower my graphic settings on newer games (Battlefield 4 etc..) due to my supposed ageing hardware.

In order to play my games (the predominant use of my pc) on higher settings again I have decided to upgrade my GPU which I think is bottlenecking the rest of my build

My budget for the graphics card is around £200 (I've heard the GTX 760 would be a good choice) Any suggestions to what I should go for?

Also, would I need to upgrade any other pc component (above) if I do end up upgrading my GPU?

Thanks for reading, and any help is much appreciated! :) 


Edit: I don't plan on using SLI in this build at any time (only 1 GPU)

760 is very good. You would have no trouble with it.
