My rig, is it worth upgrading?

[Evarrasul]

I'm looking at upgrading my 2nd rig, it's my backup incase my main one breaks down or something happens to it. Main thing I'm wondering if it would be worth upgrading the 560gtx 1gb to the r9 270x 2gb at all. It's mainly the pc I'll take with me when i need to, since my main is a bit bigger.

Specs:
AMD FX-8320 Vishera 3.5GHz
Gigabye 970a d3p
12gb ddr3 1600mhz ram
1tb hdd
nvidia 560gtx
Blu ray combo drive
Either 500w or 600w gold edition fsp power supply, can't remember exactally.

My main pc:
Intel I7 4770 3.4ghz
gigabyte z87 D3HP
16gb 1600mhz
128gb ssd
1tb
770gtx 2gb OC edition
LG blu ray combo drive
CM 700w power supply
CM 690 II advanced mid tower

Peripherals:
Deathadder 2013
Ducky Shine 3 Cherry mx Brown
Logitech G430 headphones

I dont know much about newer graphics cards, so I thought to ask here.

Moved to New Build Advice.

If it's literally just a back up PC, then no imho.

My advice would be to upgrade your secondary rig when you next replace parts of your primary pc, like when you upgrade from your GTX 770 in the future put the 770 into you secondary and so on.

The GTX 560Ti is still a decent gaming card

I also agree with Feronix and Evarrasul.

It's not so easy to have the same degree of passion for a backup machine, as it is for the main rig, unless you have money to burn, in which case I'd always be putting it in the main rig and swapping upgraded parts with the backup one.

Agreed. Really the best way to go about it.

I got a couple of questions again, may as well keep it in one topic. Is there anything in my main pc worth upgrading? I'm enjoying my gtx 770, I'm not playing very demanding games at the moment mainly Skyrim, cod ghosts, might look at getting nfs:rivals, plays pretty much anything on highest settings.

I'm quite new to over clocking, and I would like to try it, although my processor is actually just a 4770, not 4770k, would it be worth getting the 4770k instead with a water cooling kit? I'm looking at the corsair h100i with cooler master jetflo 120mm fans.

If you can sell the 4770 or trade it in and pay the difference then it would be worth the 4770k. Other than that it will not be. H100i is a Closed loop/All In One(AIO) and not a full water cooling kit. A full water cooling kit would be much more expensive but would still yield better results.

IMO i would change your fans you have chosen.
