Looking to upgrade my computer but have it be powerful enough for next gen gaming.
I'm considering getting something like this.
Intel Core i5-4670K + MSI Z87-G45 Gaming cost $354.98

Right now I'm using an I7 920 plugged into a EVGA 3x SLI with 24 GB triple channel. But it doesn't have some of the newer features like USB 3.0 or SATA 3 and I think it only has PCI Express 2.
And I currently have a Nvidia 760 that will go into the next system.
It's basically stock speeds though I have tooled with OC a bit in the past.
I have had this thing since about a month after I7 released.
I'm not 100% sure I need an upgrade, nothing is broken and things still seem to run fine, but it's been 5 years that I have had it.
I guess i'm looking for advice for next gen gaming. The new consoles are both 8 core and 64 bit and rumors have it that the next gen PC games are finally crossing over to 64 bit.
So I guess to keep it short, I am wondering what would be a nice future proof system something that will last another 5 years with video card upgrades.
Is it the 4760 k a 4770 (k) or something from AMD perhaps something with 8 cores, what do you recommend?
Thanks
