So i'm in two minds between buying a new computer or just upgrading my current one.

Current specs are

CPU: I7 950 Bloomfield
Mobo: Sabertooth X58 TUF
RAM: 6gb corsair ddr3, 2138mhz
GPU: GTX 580
PSU: Coolermaster 750 TX

I might just buy a GTX 970.

GFX card then.

Check whatever one you want to buy fits inside your current case.

Also overclock the CPU (add a big fat heatsink).

Yep, big case so go grab a card.

GTX580 vs GTX970 - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1350?vs=1355
