Hello all, I'd like to upgrade my rig by adding a new gpu, cpu, and some ram. My concern is if my mobo and socket 1155 cpus are a bottleneck. Should I just get a new the current gen cpu and mobo?
My current rig:
Mobo: MSI P67A GD55
CPU: Intel i5 2400 Sandy Bridge
GPU: MSI GTX570 Twinfrozr III
RAM: Mushkin Silverline 2x 4GB 1333MHz
I was thinking of getting an unlocked Ivy Bridge cpu, but not sure if my mobo can take advantage of an unlocked cpu. Add to that a GTX970 and 8 more gigs of ram, possibly even a gsync monitor.
Any thoughts?
