Hi guys,

These are my current setup.
Casing - Cooler Master elite 430 black
Motherboard - Gigabyte P55-UD3L
Processor - Intel core i5-760
Graphic Card - Asus GTS450
PSU - Cooler Master 500W
RAM - Kingston 8GB 1333mhz 
SSD - Kingston 120GB 300V
HDD - WD Green 1TB 

I wish to upgrade it so that it's able to run latest game such as Batman Arkham Knight, GTA and so on. 

Can I just upgrade the PSU and GPU to Seasonic G-550 550W and NVIDIA GTX 980 and others remain?

 

thanks

lol, OP isn't following topic, 

i sense a derail.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Huh? Old + new

My setup is very old, like intel i5-760

And now i wan to combine it with new system like gtx 980

 

follow your topic. 

 

you can put a gtx980 in their, but you won't get the most out of it because the CPU "can't keep up"

thanks but i think you haven't saw this video

 

your CPU cannot send instructions to your GPU fast enough. you will not get the most out of your GPU. 

 

i've been there. trust me.

and yes, i have seen that video.

he does not test enough games to have accurate results, and i do not believe sniper elite 3 is a very popular game anyway, and shouldn't be used for graphics testing.

 

any idea if he is using the same MB or different MBs? these things matter.
