New GPU or Whole PC

[jaffveyda]

Hello Guys,

Finally the time came to upgrade my current pc for the last couple of years i was quite happy with my computer performance i was playing only casually Diablo 3.
Over the weekend i purchased Gta 5 and Fallout 4 and i realized that my graphic card no longer pull those games in 1080p resolution.I managed to achieve 800x600 resolution which looked dreadfull.
The question is should i upgrade my current graphic card (GTX 460 watercooled) to GTX 970/GTX 980 or replace the whole pc to intel new processor i7 6700k and GTX1070.
Would my current i7 860@4Ghz bottleneck the GTX 970/980 card?

How much money is your budget?

You're going to need a GPU upgrade regardless so I would just buy that for the time being and see how you get on with it in the current rig

If you're at 1080p 60hz then a GTX1060 is a good choice, or you can go GTX1070 if you want a bit more power to hopefully last you a bit longer or hit high refresh rates or 1440p in the future.

I have a fire strike score of a 970 with a simlar rig to yours (i7 860) and it was 8k plus, so a 1060 should be fine. Will post it when I am at my PC and not this stoopid iPad.

Ps please change your font colour of your sig lol it's horrible to read

Thats the i7 860 paired with a 970

I have either £960 for the whole rig excluding case or £350 for graphic card.
At the moment i game only at 1080p.I dont know how long my power supply will last it Collermaster 550W from 2007.So very powerfull graphic card will require new one.
