Welcome to the forums.
260s are pretty darn old, to be honest. Something like a GTX560TI would be an insane upgrade, it'll handle most games at medium to high settings at 1080p. This of course all depends on what games you play..
Thank You! Ic, even have 896MB 448-bit is still slower than a 256bit newer version or is it all depend on the DDR3 vs DDR5?

Memory bandwidth aside, the core architecture has improved so much that I wouldn't concern myself with it unless that particular 260 model was crazy good at folding or something. Your 260 has GDDR3. I've read that GDDR5 + 256bus = GDDR3 + 512bus, so don't worry about it. Also you have more than enough PCIe bandwidth for newer cards.

I think it depends how much I get out of some used old hardware first. All my upgrades have been done by selling older stuff.

Nice, good luck selling your old hardware.
