I am planning from switching from AMD to Intel and i'm just looking at getting a new MOBO, CPU, and HDD and I would like everyones opinion. I'm making the switch because I think my current system is bottlenecking and plus my current chip makes a lot of heat, and I wish to get away from the heat and also have a more efficient processor.

Using for gaming (BF4 mainly when it comes out, Diablo 3, Watch Dogs) and daily computing such as chrome, email, word.

I am not over clocking. (Too scary)

Current System:

MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131637
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130593

I am also curious to know if my current system is bottlenecking my GTX 570


Upgrade:
My budget for this upgrade is $500 and at most $550.

MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131995
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136769
OS: Windows 8 or 8.1


Im open to any opinions and suggestions.
Thank You!
 
What I think you should do is take a little bit of your budget to get a new power supply, not because the one you have isnt very good, but so you can use the other parts you have from AMD and put them to use as a garage computer or something. Could just mount it in a cheap case and youre good.

Your current computer should not be bottlenecking a 570. I was running a 6970 on my AMD 965BE (still am actually). Running my 2500K with a 570 now.

I'd also invest in a SSD. You'd love the performance.
