X51 R1, possible upgrades 2021
Can anybody give me an idea on what I can upgrade in hopes to better my performance on playing other games? I just want to know how much it will cost and if its honestly worth it or not?

you have i7 3770 and GTX 660, 16 gb ram, ssd..
this gpu comparison shows when you "upgrade" gpu to GTX 960 there is very little improvement at high setting. GTX 660 vs GTX 960 Game Performance Benchmarks (i7-3770 vs i7-3770) - GPUCheck United States / USA
you need at least GTX 970 have better performance. GTX 660 vs GTX 970 Game Performance Benchmarks (i7-3770 vs i7-3770) - GPUCheck United States / USA
