Upgrade GPU or Cpu&Mobo

[uksoldierboy]

Hi all,
In a bit of a pickle, i'm tore between upgrading my GPU, or Mobo and cpu.
Recently bought a B Grade Sapphire 7970 OC Boost, but had to DSR it.
should get my refund tomorrow and the plan was to get a brand new 7970,but i also noticed i could get this bundle instead:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-404-IN&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=567
So i'm stuck in wanting to get a 7970 as it made a big difference in gaming for me, or, get the above and wait till next months pay to get a 7970.
Opinions? better ideas etc most welcome.
Currently rig is:
Asus m5a99x evo
Amd fx4100 @4.6
12 GB Corsair vengeance (1600) 9-9-9-24
Crossfire 6870s.
As far as i know i can reuse my ram, and my cpu cooler will work for the intel cpu (Arctic Freezer 13)
Thanks for any advice.

You could do this:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £179.99
1 x Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £79.99
Total : £271.38 (includes shipping : £9.50).



Or if you can get the extra, this:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte ATi Radeon HD 7950 Windforce 3X 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £239.99
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £179.99
1 x Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £79.99
Total : £511.97 (includes shipping : £10.00).



7970's are not worth it IMO! Yes you can overclock the 7950 to be as quick as the 7970, and yes you can overclock the 7970 to be quicker, but you'll not notice the difference in gaming.
