my current config is

XFX Radeon HD 6870 1 GB DDR5 Graphics Card X 2 (crossfire)

Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz 8M L3 Cache LGA1366 Desktop Processor

ASUS LGA 1366 - Intel X58 - True USB 3.0 & SATA 6Gb/s - ATX Motherboard P6X58D-E (PCIe2.0 x1 slot and PCI x 2 slot)

Corsair 12 GB PC3-12800 1600MHz 240-Pin DDR3 Core i7 Triple Channel Memory Kit

Now i want to upgrade my graphic cards with gtx 980 or 970 in SLI, i am confused whether my old processor and motherboard will hamper the graphics quality of games. i like to play all games in high settings. games like skyrim, battlefield, COD, Farcry series.
