Old PC - upgrade

Hi guys,

 

I’ve got an old PC purchased back in 2012 and it’s only had one upgrade since the original build which was GTX 660 > GTX 770.

 

I was wondering what the best options are?

 

Specs:

MOBO: Asus rampage IV extreme

CPU: Intel i7 3820

PSU: Antec 900w

GPU: GTX 770

RAM: 16GB Corsair vengeance

STORAGE: 120GB SSD + 1 TB drive

 

I cant get DDR4 ram because my board is DDR3. I was thinking to upgrade my GPU when the 11xx series comes out, will there be any bottlenecks? 

Does anything else need to be upgraded??

 

Thanks

Nice system! I agree with the previous post. You might want to check the bottlenecker, the bottleneck calculator website, it comes handy as a quick check for cpu/gpu bottlenecks
