My current specs are:
Core i5 2500k @ 4.5 GHZ
Gtx 570 @ Stock
2X2GB Corsair xms3
850W XFX Modular Power supply silver.

I think I may need a ram upgrade, so what ram should I get?

I also would like a mechanical keyboard, one with red back light that is either a brown or a blue switch. So far the Ducky Shine 2 seems to be the most likely candidate, but if anyone can sway me to possibly get another one I would change my mind.
Just in case anyone is wondering I currently have a sidewinder X4.

Or should I scrap all that and just get a current gen gpu?

You could always get another 570 for SLI depending on your motherboard.

Though you may benefit from a card with 2Gb of vram. A 7870, gtx 660ti or 7950 would be great.

Ram wise there is a lot of great brands at the moment so you should be able to get sone okay deals. :)

Stick with the gpu if you're happy with it, you could just buy another of the same RAM kit and run 4x2GB modules. Mechanical keyboards are great, just go for whichever one you like which gets good reviews, I'm quite happy with my Qpad 85.

Otherwise if you don't mind big heatsink RAM you could get the kit which is on the today only offer.

are you already upgrading?, look at mine, and the time i take to upgrading- it will take about more 1-3 years or until dies, which comes first. your gpu still run games( i saw on your computer) - compared to mine.
buy a new nvidia card and do SLI

ps: you are rich!!
 
Id defo get an SSD, 250gb if u can, best purchase ever, it would leave you with enough change to maybe get a 7950 if you sell the 570 for around 80.

PS yeah the RAM is crap too id grab 8 gb of RAM also :), im sure it can all be done with 300 when you sell the 570!
