Upgrade Advice

Hi Guys

Considering an upgrade, not sure if time is right or if its worth it. Only needing to swap mobo, ram, cpu and graphics.

Currently have a 3570k at stock, 8gb ram and a 760. Budget isnt fixed to be honest, but I'd be looking for 'value for money' if you know what I mean. So for example, I was thinking of going for the newer i7 and maybe a 780?

Open to options, interested to hear if its worth it or not, maybe I should just do the gfx etc?

Main use it Dayz, ARMA 3, Payday2, Saints Row etc etc, usual games but primarily Arma 2 and 3.

I'll need to check, but current setup includes:

Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
MSI Z77A-G43 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Corsair Hydro H50-1

Already have a decent SSD and HD etc etc.

PSU is 600w modular, cant remember make but it was reasonable.

Monitor is Iiyama ProLite GB2773HS 144hz but 1920x1080

So overall it looks like its worth leaving as it is apart from some new gfx?

Perfect, thought that might happen but needed to check

I'll probably bite the bullet and buy tomorrow.
