I'd spend the $200 on a great SSD. Won't improve gaming much, but overall system performance would be a lot better. Realistically, the CPU you have is great and an upgrade wouldn't be noticeable in gaming. Gaming performance would be best improved with another 660ti, which is about $200, $210 at newegg right now.

it depends what type of games you play with overclocking, i know that from 3.4 ghz to 4.4 ghz on my 3570k there is a huge difference on wow which is a cpu only game and a fairly good improvement on bf4 but some games benefit mostly from the GPU and having SLI if it is supported will yield a huge frame difference however you say you are going to buy a 780 so I would go with heroesneverquit and get a decent mobo and cooler as this will benefit you the most if you get your 780

z77 is just the old chipset. Z87 just so happens to be the newer chipset which is why I brought it up.

As far as sli vs crossfire I might have been confused a bit. For some reason I was thinking that most games supported crossfire and non supported SLI :p

My bad
