Getting Upgrade-itis

I’ve not upgraded my GPU for just over 2 years and I’m getting the urge to upgrade! My current setup is:

Asus Maximus V Gene
2600K CPU (OC to 4.4)
16 GB Samsung Green 1600 RAM
2 x Samsung 256 GB SSD
1 x WD Black 1 TB HDD
Corsair H100 Cooler
7 x 120mm fans
Gigabyte Windforce GTX 670
650W PSU

I mainly game on my PC (and work sometimes) and my monitor is 1900 x 1200. Is it worth me upgrading the GPU to say a 780 or just sticking with what I’ve got?
 
Looking at your build, the GPU would be the only thing I would change. A 780 would be a great addition and keep you going for quite some time.

What is the make, model & age of your PSU? Maybe worth upgrading that also!

HA - just noticed you're in Chippenham, small world :D

Sorry for the OT but it has to be said.

16GB of Sammy green and you're only running it at 1600Mhz? :eek: :o

Get it clocked up to 2133Mhz 9-10-10-21-1T mate. :)

PSU is OCZ ZT 650W, not sure if that would be enough for a 780?

Just replied to your email :)
