Hey I was wondering if anyone has some ideas about what the best way to upgrade my current gaming rig would be. I have a GTX660 with a FX6300 overclocked to 4.5 and 12 gig of ram. I play mostly total war games and would like to see a notable performance increase in these games, I feel an intel cpu may provide that boost but I am also considering a GTX970. Hope you have some ideas! :)
 
You think an i5 4690k and gtx970 plus decent mobo would get this running well ? Any reccomendations of a good mobo? Not an expert on compatibility. Have plenty of cooling etc. Gaming at 1080p for the time being anyway!
 
For the games I am looking to play I need an improved single threaded performance thats why I am considering an Intel upgrade. You think SLI with two gtx 970's with my current board and cpu would exceed performance with a new i5/i7 and gtx 970?

My current motherboard is an Asus M5A97 LE. 2.0.
 
I ended up getting the MSI GTX970 Twin Frozr and the i7 4790k due to its performance in the single threading. Should handle most things decently!
