Was looking to upgrade from my 8350. rest of my specs -

8350 @4.8ghz
16GB DDR3
980TI.
gigabyte 990fxa-ud3

I play a huge range of games, but I don't like how the single core performance is, selling my 8350 and motherboard will net around 150-160 I think

Would Devil Canyon be a worthy upgrade? There is a bundle for £280 on OC, I want to SLI in a year or so when pascal is out.

Budget £300

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, my 8350 is starting to show its age.
 
Thanks for the reply.

Would there really be many issues with having less threads for SLI? What bundle would you recommend? if you could check that would be great.
 
The bundle looks great - What would the gigabyte z97x be like for overclocking? is it worth going for the TUF?

Micky - can't see the skylake in what you linked! Would it be worth it going from ddr3 to ddr4 for the extra cost?
 
I've decided to go for the I5 4690K and the MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Good mix? Paired with a 980ti and another 980ti in a year or so.

If I wanted to upgrade CPU in future, is the motherboard a good choice?
