Hi folks, i have a cpu/motherboard that is 4 years old now but with up to date graphics. This is the longest time i have ever had the same cpu running my gaming system.
Will i see any real gains in games like BF3 and Crysis 3 in upgrading to either an I7-4570K/I7-4770K, I7-3820 or I7-4820K that is released in a few weeks or should i wait for 14nm Broadwell next year for the best bang for the buck?
My current system is -
CPU- I7-860 @ 4334Mhz
M/B- ASUS P7P55 WS (4x pcie2.0 x8)
RAM- G.Skill 2x4GB 2400Mhz CAS10
GPU- HD 7970 @1150Mhz x 2 (crossfire)
EYEFINITY- Dell U2311h x 3
RAID- Adaptec Raid 5805(pcie x8) with 5x 1TB HDD's
SSD- Ocz Vertex 3 120GB (pcie 2.0 x1 Transcend TS-PC3 / USB 3.0&SATA3)
PSU- BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 850W(90+)
I am running Unigine Heaven benchmark 4.0 and there doesn't seam to be a big difference between my setup and a crossfire I7-4570K.
Like i said this system is 4 years now( had crossfire hd5850 before) and i am itching to upgrade but is it worth it, i don't want to spend over £350 -£450 to find my games run 3-5fps faster.
Will any of the new chips help my crossfire/eyefinity setup?
I see that the new consoles coming out only have 1.8tflops gpu power, a single hd 7970 has twice that, is there really a need to upgrade for the next 5-6 years considering most games will be coded for the new consoles ?
Ok thanks for reading and any suggestions will be most welcome.

! (just started OC'ing mine and "struggling" [still playing with the voltages] to get 3.6Ghz stable) sorry for off-topic reply
