Worth Upgrading??

[Darth Bane]

Hi Guys,

I built my PC a couple of years ago and have been very pleased with it, with some new games coming out that id like to play and a bit of future proofing (Next Gen Consoles) i am thinking about upgrading my GPU.

The thing is that im not sure if my CPU is a little old now and might cause a bottleneck?, Just want to know your opinions on if i should upgrade or wait a bit for the next Gen GPU's, but by then my CPU will be even older and will probably need a complete new build........ Can't seem to make my mind up, what would you guys do??

My Current Rig.

i5 2500k @ 4.2Ghz
MSI P67 GD65 Mobo
8Gb DDR3 Ram Ripjaws
EVGA GTX 570 SC
Windows 7 64 bit

Was thinking about upgrading to the EVGA GTX770 SC here.....

That will be fine, you won't experience any bottleneck with that CPU.

Can you not overclock the CPU a bot further, most will go to 4.5.

Yeah i could get a bit more out of the CPU, as this was my first build i didn't want to push it to far with the overclock.

So you think its worth upgrading to the 770 from the 570?
