Desktop Upgrade?

[OrionTC]

I'm kind of stuck in that phase where upgrading almost seems like a waste of money but I have the itch to upgrade. I was actually looking at upgrading the SSD drives to a higher capacity as one option.

I read that the CPU is still very viable and not worth spending the money on a new board/cpu/ram.

The main and only thing i do on this PC is game... mainly MMORPGs. I play at 1080P, nothing higher.

Any ideas?

i5 2500k @4.4ghz with Hyper212 cooler
Asus GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II OC Gamer 2048MB
8gb ram
128gb m4 SSD
120gb m500 SSD
23" Monitor @ 1080P

New GPU it looks like probably, though the 670 is still quite capable at 1080p. Don't you get enough fps in games?

Something like an R9 290 would be great

This is excellently priced

As above, that 290 for that price is almost rude to pass up. Will stand you in good stead for a long time yet!
