What To Upgrade?

[WildWyvern]

Hello, I have a 6 year old computer that is still kicking it, but I just got a new 970 gtx graphics card to upgrade my 550Ti, because I am a BIG gamer. I know I need a new power supply, but do I need to upgrade any of my other components, still new to PC building. Thanks!

My Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570k (Ivy Bridge)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Ram: Crucial Tech 16 GB (4x4GB)
MoBo: Intel DH67BL

Negative. You should be good for a while (a year at least) for playing games at mid/semi-high settings @1080p. Your next upgrade will be a big one (processor+mobo+ram) all together. So make sure you get a good PSU so you can use it later in your new build.

Thanks! What PSU would you recommend? 550Ws? 650? and how long would you estimate my computer has left until I will need to do those huge upgrades?
