My PC has the follwoing specs below that I would like to upgrade. I want to know if my current configuration can handle another GTX 680 for SLI as I already have ordered another GTX 680 as my first upgrade. In addition what would be good to see a noticable imporvement with the motherboard, processor, cpu cooler, ram (if needed), and PSU (if needed). I know this is random but I noticed a lot of screen tearing in Crysis 3 with Vsync on, any suggestions? (I have a 1600p monitor)

I was thinking of buying the Intel core i&-3770K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116501 and  the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD4H motherboard  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128583

 

EVGA P55 FTW motherboard

Intel Core i5 750 2.66GHz LGA 1156 Quad-Core Processor (8MB L3 Cache)

Megahalems Rev.B cpu cooler

PNY VCGGTX680XPB GeForce GTX 680 2GB 256-bit GDDR5

750 Watt Corsair PSU TX750W

8GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600Mhz (4x 2GB) Dual Channel Memory

(hardrives, sound card, and case do need upgrading)


Thanks for your help.

Your current PC would handle 680 SLi but your CPU might bottleneck them at load. 3770k good choice, HT will be useful in the near future. Solid MB That PSU should be fine for SLI. It would better with an 850w if you wanted to do any overclocking.
