Should I upgrade my graphics card

[Dragster1254]

I have a Msi N470GTX and I am looking for a upgrade under $150 (as I have recently built another pc). I found a Msi twin frozr Gtx 660 for $130 used and a Gigabyte Gtx 760 windforce for $140 or should I wait (and increase my budget) for pascal and replace my Gtx 970 in my personal system and put the 970 in this sytem

Probably better to have your full system spec please?

The system has a core 2 quad q6600 (which I will be upgrading to a q9550) a Asus P5p41td Motherboard, 8gb DDR3 Ram, and a Corsair Rm 750 W PSU

you really dont want to put anything beyond a gtx 960 into it


so a gtx 760 would be a good idea

But should I buy pascal and put it into my new rig and take the gtx 970 and put it into this one

Since your pc able to handle 470 then probably it has no problem to handle even the likes of 980ti. But even with 9550 that still considered as 'old'. If you would lile to have more performance better invest on newer platform already.

you could, but you would never see full performance from it

I did. I have my new skylake rig but I want to keep this one as backup
