Would the 980x or 990x be the best choice of a cpu upgrade for the x58?

Thanks, any suggestions for a good card to upgrade the 770 to? Keeping in mind I plan to upgrade my CPU from the 950 to maybe a 980x (or above if anyone can suggest a more powerful processor that is compatible with the x58 mobo)

Would it bottleneck hard with an i7 950 until I upgrade my CPU?

I thought because of my motherboard I was limited to LG1366 socket processors? I thought the i7 980x and 990x were the most powerful? Are there any others that are a better choice?

Hello everyone, First some specs about my pc. I have had this for a few years now and am trying to squeeze a couple of years out of it before I do a total upgrade. Gigabyte GAx58A UD5 motherboard Intel i7 950 GTX 770 2gb 12gb corsair 1333mhz ddr3 ram Noctua cooler can remember exact specs Silverstone 750w bronze powersupply I understand with my motherboard I am limited to a better processor. Would an i7 980x be a reasonable choice? Its my understanding the 990x or 980x are the best for this motherboard but 980x is probably more cost effective? I am also thinking of getting a GTX 1060 6gb GPU as an upgrade before my processor upgrade. Is this card compatible with the i7 950. How will it perform with the i7 980x? Thanks
