Hi guys,

I'm looking for some advice on upgrading my main desktop for the games listed above plus anyhting else on the horizon.

I currently use the machine for gaming and converting my dvd/bluray collection.

I have about £300 to spend and I'm not sure If I'd be better upgrading the CPU and Mobo or the GPU, I'm looking at either an I5 2500k and Z68 board with my existing 460 GTX or keep my CPU and Mobo and change the 460 for a 6950 2GB.
 
I have a OCZ StealthXstream 600W and an Antec P180 mini so any board would have to be matx.

Will the Bulldozer chips be that much faster than an I5?
 
So the 2500k is the better choice now rather than waiting for BD which might not be any better/faster.

I think I will stick with upgrading to the 2500k with a Gigabyte GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3 as this will give me the Z68 features with the ability to SLI/Xfire later on if I need to.
