So I am looking to update so I can handle many new games (mainly star citizen) as I have an aging 660 ftw. I was looking to get a 980 ti but I was also pondering if I should update the other components also and get a less costly card. My current cpu and memory seem to be handling themselves fine. Any recommendations would be welcome

 

Edit: Missing Specs

 

CPU: Intel Core i5 3570

 

Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LK

 

Memory: 16GB Corsair DDR3

 

PSU: Corsair TX750M

 

GPU: EVGA GTX 660 FTW

Just waiting for that next upgrade 

 

Current Build: 

CPU: Intel i5-3750

Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LK

Ram: 16GB Corsair Vengance

GPU: EVGA GTX 660 FTW

Case: Thermaltake Chase MK-1

Storage: Intel 480GB 535 Series SSD, Seagate 1TB

PSU: Corsair TX750M

 

Other Systems:

Dell Poweredge 840/2800 A.K.A Frankenedge or Frank for short
