Current spec, Upgrade worth it?

[dazeRR]

Hi guys im currently deciding wether or not to upgrade from my current PC.

ive got around 350-400 Quid to spend keeping my HD, Graphics cards etc.

I have at the moment

Intel Core i5 760 2.80GHz (Lynnfield) (Socket LGA1156)
Asus P7P55D-E Intel P55
Corsair XMS34GB
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB
6870 Crossfire
OCZ 600w

I have learnt that the motherboard i have is not getting the most out of crossfire with x16 + x4 lanes, also i think its pushing the PSU a bit?

I was looking at this

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - OEM

Asus P8Z68-V Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard

BeQuiet Pure Power L8 730W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply - With 120mm Silent Wing Fan Built in

Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit


Only used for gaming, Think it would make a noticable difference?

Cheers

Ok cheers think i will hold off for now then

SSD would be a much better and noticable improvement.

Also, if going for a 2500/2600/2700k chip, get the retail version....worth the extra few £££ for 2 extra years warranty.

An SSD on top of what i have now? What do you recommend.

Went ahead and ordered the crucial m4, New power supply and a bit more ram.

Cheers guys

Get a nice cooler and clock your chip! Also add a nice crucial M4 SSD

Edit: Noticed you already ordered the M4, good choice.

Yep done that, got a AC Freezer 7 and oc'd it to 3.8
