Get a GTX970 + a Fortron Raider 550W Silver or any PSU with the same or above that wattage with at least a Bronze efficiency rating and that's pretty much it. Right now, your current GPU is bottlenecking your CPU hard. I don't know whether you game or do a lot of tasks/video edit, so I'll say that upgrading the RAM won't give you any more performance in games, but it will obviously increase your PC's speed when multitasking and rendering (if you do that stuff).

Here is how it works.

Good CPU+okay Graphics Card<<<<Good Graphics card+ Okay CPU

If you can't afford a 970, I suggest you buy a cheaper CPU and use the money you saved for the 970. You would be able to run everything ultra on 970 but not with the 960.

I know how it works. I'm asking for suggestions on different GPU's/ PSU's. I think I'm set on what I want though.
