Looking to upgrade my ageing PC by adding new Mobo, CPU, Ram and cooler.
Budget is about £600-650. Current set up is an i7-920 @3.2 based system, 6GB Ram. Case is Antec 1200, PSU is 650w Corsair and graphics are sorted by a 7950.

Reason for upgrade is the lack of Sata lll and USB 3.0 as well as the age issue. Would my budget allow for an increase in performance or will I do better selling this set up and adding the proceeds to my budget for a whole new system?

I do a little video editing, convert VOB's to MKV and a lot of BF4 :)
 
This would be my suggestion:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i7-4770K 3.50GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £245.99
1 x MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Series Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £124.99
1 x Antec Kúhler H2O 1220 Series 4 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler £81.6
1 x TeamGroup Vulcan RED 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17100C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLD38G2133HC11ADC01) £69.95
Total : £532.13 (includes shipping : £8.00).



You should be able to fit the Kuhler in the rear 2 120mm fan slots.. Needs to be installed bore the GPU's are. :)
