Im looking for the best upgrade, My specs are in MY Sig but i have

a 4930k OC'd to 4.6Ghz
16gbs of DDr3 ram
2x Evga Titan black 6gb cards in sli
Full water cooling loop
Obsidian 900D
1000W Super flower PSU
2 x 500gbs ssd's for games/storage
2x Benq 144hz gaming monitors

I was thinking of a 1080ti (possibly one of OCUK pre water blocked ones
a new Monitor
or a 8pack elite Bundle Mobo CPU etc

more of a sidegrade than a true upgrade tbh, if the games you play are optimised for SLI
but you should see an improvement going from SLI TB to a 1080ti in terms of smoothness as you won't have to deal with SLI issues.
also +/- gsync monitor

4930k isn't worth upgrading at the moment - this is a definite sidegrade

For a general all-over improvment then a water-blocked Ti will be a great move (that overclocked IB cpu should just about keep it fed too, bottlenecking won't be too common). Make that core of your system last another 2-3 years.

Then update the lot, a simple choice. But you will get some bottlenecking in certain situations, but not enough to warrant a full change imo.

Also the Ti's are dropping, wait til you can get a better deal on one.
