Help with temp graphics upgrade

[Ants_85]

Hey guys. Looking to do an upgrade on my current (very old) PC, mainly used for gaming and wondering if I could get away with just replacing the graphics card for now, and eventually (six months or more..) do entirely new build.

Current PC: CPU - Intel Core I7-2600.

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 ATX - Intel Z68 Express/ITE

RAM - Kingston DDR3 8GB (2x4GB)

GFX card - WinFast GTX 560 Ti Hurricane

Need to check my power supply sorry (potentially happy to upgrade too)... And just using a Samsung HD Monitor.

It can run most what i'd call medium spec games in an ok way. It's when I get into current AAA titles, it tends to load/run very slowly if it can load at all. With the graphics on low, Battlegrounds is pretty slow and really drops in FPS when I turn a corner/any action happens and looks like Starfox on the Snes graphics wise.

So thinking of going full wack on upgrading to a MSI GeForce GTX 1080Ti (thinking of the Gaming X) and then use that when I do eventually do a full new build.
Just wondering what you guys thought of that as a bit of a temp fix? If it's possible... And if i'm going to be dragged down by my CPU/RAM at all? Not too keen on overclocking anything... It's barely hanging on as it is haha. Or should I just relax and wait 6-8 months and build from scratch? I would use this graphics card (and power supply) in my new build no matter what flashy new thing comes out later too.

Thanks for your help

Hey Danny, thanks for the welcome and reply!

Oh yeah so the PSU could be a little bit under powered...? It's a Cooler Master RE-500-PCar-I3. Looking at reviews it's actually a sub 500W PSU. So think i'd need to upgrade that for safety huh?
And i actually forgot to mention (plus my first post was getting a bit long) that if i do get the upgrade, in a couple months i'd then get a ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q to match it up. As yeah you're right my current one is a HD 720p monitor, and the graphics card would be a bit overkill.

But yeah perfect, that all sounds pretty good then in theory. Thanks!

Thanks guys
Actually yeah maybe i do just save some cash and go with a 1050ti for now until the whole thing burns out and go from scratch at an even later date.
Thanks for the advice guys.
