i have amd phenom II x6 1090t, msi 990fxa-gd80, 6970hd, adata1200 psu,thermaltech speedo casing. can i upgrade gpu to 980ti? or will it bottleneck too much?

i mainly use autocad, sketchup, 3dmax, lumion(render soft) and play games little. my brother will be coming from state recently i want to get it, but am confused... plz help

If you dont play games much, why do you want a 980Ti?

If you have the funds and you know your bro will jam out a lot, hells yes, you buy better GPU! On the other hand, you can always buy a console and worry not about the maintenance and upgrades for PC.

Your MB is competent to run the 980ti, as for the PSU - ADATA 1200W HM Series Power Supply seems to be quite good. Also your processor is still alright. Will play game fine.
