i7 950 @ 4ghz
ga-x58a-ud3r mobo
12gb corsair xms3 ddr3
gtx 960

rest doesn't really matter

you're still good to me. as long as you can do what you want smoothly, a few hundred dollars for a few extra fps isn't worth it unless you have the money to spend.

If ya don't need it for gaming...it's fine.

he can still get by just fine with gaming on that, maybe not on ultra maxed out settings, but that's just personal preference.
I get by perfectly fine with gaming on a inferior machine than the one he posted.
Paying the top dollar to get the best possible graphics is just prefence, unless it's actually effecting gameplay there's no reason, unless you've got the money to blow.
that's how i see it, anyways.

Yeah that was my assumption. I play what I play now without any problems. I may just pick up another gtx 960, would I have to worry about bottlenecking?

don't sli.
if anything get a new card.

sell old buy used 980ti

Should be fine for anything around 60fps before being bottlenecked by CPU, snag a high-end GPU and play at higher resolutions.
