I have a gtx 660 and i play minecraft and cs with good framerates, but im looking to start playing newer games like metal gear solid and stuff. Should i upgrade it to a 970/980 ti or wait a while this gpu.

I have the money 2 upgrade but you know its always spending money....

wat really makes me feel bad about upgrading is that my cousin has a really bad pc, and he would look really wrongly at me if i upgraded.

Unless you want to play anything at max settings there is little to no reason to upgrade.

It's pretty much right at the minimum requirements for MGS. You'll have to turn everything way down to maintain 60fps.

My old 660 from Gainward was capable of running The Witcher 3 on medium settings at around 45-50fps stable, however I would not recommend this card to more demanding games.

Maybe consider giving your cousin your 660 and get yourself a either Radeon R9 390 if you have a good 600W+ power supply, or if 600W or below GTX 970, and you'd be golden.

considering that, the thing is even with the gpu i bet he would nt have the money or the will to buy the other parts.
