Should i upgrade from a GTX 470 to 760
Atm i have a EVGA GTX 470 SC with

Core i7-920 @ 3.5GHz + Corsair H50 Cooler
EVGA X58 SLI LE motherboard
6GB Corsair Dominator RAM @ 1600mhz
850W Corsair PSU

Just curious if i should bother as theres a EVGA GTX 760 SC ACX 2048MB for £159 in the UK and i cant afford to upgrade my entire system atm. Would it have an issue running on PCIe 2.0 or bottleneck problems etc? I don't play FPS games on my PC i have consoles for that it's more for single player RPG types like Fallout and Elder Scrolls but heavily modded.

Thanks in advance

I'd assume that a GTX 760 will be nowhere near saturating the bandwidth of a PCIe 2.0 slot considering an R95X2 or a Titan Z can't, so no bottleneck there. With the GTX 960 coming soon though, you might want to wait for that and hopefully it'll be a bargain like the 970.
