Originally posted by bprat22 I would replace the gtx 960 with a gtx 1060 or better, depending on your budget and what resolution your monitor is.    The 1060 would give you an average 50% bump in frame rates.    A gtx 1070 would max anything on a 1080p monitor.

Hi! Sounds good. I was thinking that made sense as well. I'm not sure which version of the 1060 to get because there seem to be so many different versions.

Originally posted by Cretae I'd suggest the 6GB for sure unless the budget is very tight. EVGA is a reliable brand, but a quick look on Amazon shows good reviews for several models.

Thanks! I'm thinking: upgrade the graphics card, replace the second harddrive with a 1 TB SSD since they aren't too expensive now.

Would this one work?

I know the one that's currently in has a 6 pin connector.
