Haswell-E upgrade

[cogrady84]

I asked a few months back about upgrade advice and was told I might aswell hold off for the Haswell-E. I'm a gamer primarily, is it still worth upgrading to 5820K, X99, 16Gb DDR4 from my current setup.

Silverstone SST-FT02-RWI Fortress FT02 Midi Tower
Corsair 850W HX Modular
Asus P8Z68-V PRO Z68 Socket 1155
Intel Core i7 2600k 3.4GHz @ 4.4Ghz Socket 1155 8MB Cache
G-Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz RipjawsX CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.5V
Sapphire R9 290 TRI-X OC 4GB GDDR5
250GB Samsung 840 EVO

Money isn't really an issue, I was looking at this upgrade and dropping an additional R9 290 in for crossfire for just over a grand, but I don't really want to bother with the hassle if I am not going to see any serious improvements?

Appreciate the feedback guys, will stick with what i've got, maybe go for another 290 at some point.

I seem to remember trying to go higher with my overclock but it needed some serious volts, wasn't too happy with the temps, so stuck at 4.4

Might give it a fresh look now though thanks!

I'm using a Dell U2713HM, so 2560x1440 at the moment, not sure if that changes the goalposts at all

I have a huge itch for an upgrade for some reason, but yeah, definately considering crossfire!
