Time to upgrade?

[superleeds27]

Wondering if its time to upgrade?

My current setup:

i5-2500k
Z68AP-D3
8GB DDR3 - Not sure of brand etc!
7870XT

Was thinking of upgrading to the G1.Sniper Z87 and the 4670K. Not sure what RAM, something thats maybe a little more 'future proof' than my current setup.

Use the machine for Gaming mostly, bit of video encoding etc.

Any thoughts?...

I do currently have an SSD, and 2 HDD drives too.

The 7870XT was the last thing i bought for this!

What GPU would you guys suggest? 280X, anything from the Nvidia crew?

What's peoples thoughts on the XFX version of the 280x?

Currently on offer on another site at 238.

Also considering the Gigabyte Battlefield 4 edition.

Is the sapphire toxic the best out the lot? hence why its not available anywhere

Bit the bullet...

Bought the 280x Gigabyte version.

Will be flogging my 7870 on eBay to bring back a few quid
