However, there's no need to upgrade if you are just going for a single card solution.
What are the specs to your PC and what do you plan on upgrading your GPU to?

I have a pretty old setup --
AMD Radeon HD 6670 1gb
AMD FX-6100
Gigabyte 970A-DS3
Crucial M4 SSD
Thermaltake TR2 600w
G.Skill Ripjaw DDR3 8gb
I'm thinking about upgrading the video card to a single GTX 960 (somewhere around $200-$300 budget), and thought I had to upgrade the mobo & cpu too... but ideally, I'd like to put that off until the end of the year
