Gpu upgrade suggestion

[Ezilkannan]

Hi. I am thinking about upgrading my gpu. Here's my current spec (it's a bit old)
Core i5 2500k @3.8 ghz processor
Intel dz68zv motherboard
Asus gtx 550 ti gpu 1gb gpu
Corsair vs 550 psu

I'm thinking about getting the gtx 970. Is that a good upgrade. Will it be bottlenecked by my processor? If so, do suggest whether I'll have to build a completely new rig. If I can get the gtx 970, will I have to upgrade my psu as well or would this suffice? Oh btw my max screen resolution is 1360x768. I don't have any upgrade in mind with regards to my monitor. Do I have to go for the 4gb version or would 2gb suffice. And how futureproof would this gpu be? I'm also thinking about getting a ram upgrade. What are your thoughts on corsair vengeance cmz8gx 1600mhz. Would my motherboard support 1600 mhz or will it run just at 1200? And will I need 8gb or would 4gb of RAM suffice?

BTW, I'm still on win 7 if that matters in anyway.

Any other suggestions and recommendations is welcome.

Thanks.

Personally i wouldnt spend more than $60 on a gpu. There's no need. Plenty of great 2nd hand deals out there (if you absolutely insist on wasting your time gaming).

Only a true Goat can say something like this. 😀

I personally would never spend more than a dollar for a monitor.

XD

The Goat is all knowledgeable, (makes goat sound).

I'd like to see you buy a usable monitor for a dollar.
