I need help upgrading my PC

[mitaka5644]

Hey guys ,  I have an i3 3220 3.3 ghz 2 core 4 thread CPU ( and I am not happy with it ) asrock p67 pro 3 mobo  GTX 650 ti boost SC from EVGA video card 

500 w PSU 8 gb 1333 mhz ram (oc'd to 1600 mhz ) and i want to buy a gtx 970 or something with simmilar performance and i wonder if 2 way SLI 650 ti boost will be enough for 1080 p gaming with maxed out settings on games like Crysis 3 , Dying light , Tomb raider , Far cry 4 etc ... 

If you could take a moment and recommend me some parts I would greatly appreciate it

get a better cpu, like an i5 and then you can start to put good GPUs like a 970 without bottlenecking
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/P67%20Pro3/?cat=CPUuse this page to see compatible cpus.
i sugest an i5 or an i7 3rd generation, depends on budget

R9 280x would be a good start! or a cheap 290 somewhere...

Then you could get an i5 4440 for around 200 USD

Tell me your budget and I'll do the pricing up for you!

Hmm. I don't think that the 650 Supports SLI.

 

If I was you I would get a 960 or even a 970 if you have a deep pocket.

It's around 350 dollars for the graphics card so a 970 but im still wondering about what CPU i should get i am thinking the  Intel Core i5-4690 K because i want to do some overclocking

the 650 Ti Boost supports 2 way SLI and i wonder if it will have around the same performance like and 970 given that i will not be gaming on more than 1080 p and the 970 is a 1440 p gaming videocard , i might be ok with 2 gb vram but im not too sure

As people stated, you need to upgrade to an i5 at least otherwise your GPU will cap at 80%.

ok so any good I5's quad core that are supported by my mobo ? 

[mitaka5644]

Will my 500 w PSU handle a 970 + 

Intel® Core™ i5-3570K Processor  ?

Forgot to add, if you want to overclock or get a non reference 970 I would recommend a 600W PSU.
