Time for a upgrade?

Hey guys just wondering if it's time for a new graphics card?

 

Right now I'm running:

 

Intel i5 3570k

Geforce gtx 660

asus p8z77-v lx

 

i'm thinking of upgrading to a geforce gtx 970.

i don't really have anything else I want to spend money on so It would be great if there was any suggestions for what I should buy to get better performance.

 

Thanks,

-Keelan

Yeah a 970 sounds like a great upgrade.

I think the performance jump would keep you happy for a while.
