I have the upgrade urge again, just like most of us do but not really sure what to go with.

Rig is: -
Corsair 800D case
i5 3570K @ 4.5Ghz
Z77x-UD5H motherboard
2 x MSI OC 7970
16GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1866MHz
Samsung 128GB SSD 830

Monitors: -
2 x Dell U2412M

Sound: -
Logitech Z5500 speakers
Corsair HS1 Headset

Keyboard/Mouse: -
Logitech G15 and G3

I am not that keen on moving over to Haswell as I cant see me gaining much by doing it.

My PC is mainly used for Gaming and video editing

Any ideas would be great :D
 
My ram is 4 x 4GB of Corsair Vengeance 9-10-9-27 1866MHz.

I wanted some faster ram but was wondering if I would see a difference.

Bearing in mind I do like to benchmark so extra points are a bonus ;)
 
I'd spray paint the rig red. Known fact red things go faster. Upgrade to Haswell will give you little. just wait and if you feel the "need" again ... download some norp !
 
Some awesome advice guys, thank you

Some 27" Monitors would be very nice but in all honesty I do think they will be a bit of an overkill themselves.

My U2412M are pretty awesome and 24" is plenty big enough.

I can't help but think I would be better off improving my ram or CPU.
 
I think you ram is fine. Try overc locking it a bit if you haven't already. Water blocked? :)

A 3770k would help with video editing. I doubt you'll be stunned by the upgrade but it should certainly help. :)
