Upgrade time? i5 750

[BongoHunter]

Its been a while since my PC received any major upgrades, though I did upgrade the graphics card a month ago, but I think my CPU is getting a bit long in the tooth now...

Spec:
CPU: i5 750 (LGA 1156) @2.67Ghz
Mem: 8GB DDR3 Corsair CM3X2G1333C9
Mobo: Asus P7P55D Pro
Gfx: Saphire Radeon R9 270x 2GB
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro 128 GB SSD, + WD 2TB HDD
PSU: Antec TruePower 650W
Case: is a Cooler Master HAF

What would you do here for £400? I could possibly stretch to £550 if was really worthwhile! I think maybe an AMD CPU for better bang for buck...

Newest game I play is BF4, though also play a lot of Source Engine games, I also do a lot of heavy development work on the PC.

Thanks for any assistance!

Grab a CPU+board bundle - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-005-GI&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=2858

You can reuse your RAM.

If you want more RAM (assuming you have a suitable 64BIT OS?) - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-204-KS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=2426

If you have an aftermarket cooler then it will also fit as socket 1156/55/50 are the same mounting, just add new thermal paste.
