I have been upgrading my pc recently, changed the case to a NZXT H440 and the psu to an EVGA 750 80 plus gold rated one. All that is left now is the graphics card. Im going to get a GTX 970 but im thinking of getting onother one soon after for sli. Will my pc be able to handle them without a bottleneck arising. My specs are in the signature, as you can see my current card is a really bad bottleneck.

Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861
