Hi Guys,

I'm looking to give my PC a cheap boost, I would like to be able to play the latest games with good framerates. Posting in this sub section as unsure if this is specific to one topic!

Currently, I have the below spec:

Intel i7 920 D0 @ 3.4GHz (Won't really clock higher anymore, although used to run all day long at 4.2GHz).
6GB Patriot Viper @ 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 2T
Gigabyte EX58-UD5
2x Gigabyte GTX 260s (216s) in SLI @ 650MHz/1450MHz/1000MHz
Games installed on 1TB 7200rpm HDD
NEC 24WMGX3

Can I get away with just replacing the GPUs, or will newer GPUs be bottlenecked too much by the rest of the system?

All suggestions welcome, thanks! :)

My first thought is get those two 260s swapped out for a more powerful single card.

Your CPU/RAM is fine.

What PSU+case do you have?

Do you have a SSD?

Actually I have also answered in the other thread and think its just a GFX card you need.

So will close this thread and just use your other one.
