Have been contemplating a GPU upgrade for a while now. I wondered if there would be any issues with my current system if I was to opt for a NVIDIA GTX 980. I have heard some people have needed to upgrade their BIOS. Also will the CPU be the bottleneck or would I still get decent enough performance with it? Can't really afford to upgrade that just yet.

System spec below;

Corsair Obsidian 800D
Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z Intel Z68 (Stock BIOS)
Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4 GHZ
Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB SATA (OS)
WD 300 GB Velociraptor
WD 150 GB Raptor
MSI GTX580 Lightning 1536MB
Corsair AX1200 CMPSU
8GB Corsair Dominator DDR3

Cheers
