I've got a question.
I have a 3770k @4.4ghz, 16gb 2133 ddr3 ram on a maximus gene 1v-zgen3. I Already have a 256gb ocz vertex 3 but want a bigger ssd so thinking about getting a new m.2 nvme ssd but motherboard and cpu doesn't support this. So debating a whole new rig, either 5820k or 6770k with 32gb ddr4 and nice board and said drive.
I'm currently running a highly over clocked 980ti and mainly use PCs for gaming.

Will the 3770k @4.4 max out the Gpu? I game at 1440p.
The 5820k/6700k upgrade options are near enough the same price, about £700. Is this a waste of money just so I can get a m.2 ssd or will I get more out of the 980ti?
I'm at a crossroads as got the itch to upgrade but don't want to waste money either? I just think I need to modernise system at some point.
Would I be better off just getting a bigger ssd on sata 3 but then this would be slower when I do get a new system?
Decisions decisions......

Just need a bigger ssd. Will get a 500gb Samsung evolution and sack off the idea about m.2 drives as they require a bios edit to get working on my chipset.
