How to improve this build?

[Xa3phod]

I have a rig I've been using for a few years now and I have been updating it. Its pretty strong, but I want more FPS performance. I mostly play Planetside2, and in that game I am in the 40s to 50s, occasionally hitting 60 fps. I would like to get a more constant play experience, but doing my research, I am having a hard time figuring out what to do. Here is my build:

ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. P8P67-M PRO
Core i5-2500K - I have it OCed to 4.3 with an Evo212.
Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB - My OS drive
OCZ-AGILITY3 Hard drive 120.03GB - My gaming drive
ST2000DM001-9YN164 2000.40GB - Data/Program drive
16 gigs Corsair Vengence DDR3.
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked+ ACX 2.0
I also have a 1000Watt Platinum PSU.


So, what are my options? Is it worth it for any of the current options?

Put in a second GTX 970? Its FPS performance you want to improve. Your CPU and SSD and Ram are fine.

I'd agree with this. Seems the other numbers are all good, so the only way to bring FPS up is a better GPU. You would get marginal gains with a better CPU.

With EVGA 970 cards, check to make sure the one you get will work in SLI with your current card.

What type of frame rate improvement do you foresee going SLI? Does it make more sense to sell my 970 and get a 980TI?

That's kind of what I was thinking. Everything else you have is pretty solid.
