Hello Toms, I would like to upgrade my PC, I'm currently sitting with the i7 2600 NOT K VERSION!
And the msi p67a gd65, Mobo..
I have arround 428-562 Euros Yeye i KNOW it's a lot difference! In Dollars it's 587-771
I would like to upgrade the Mobo, CPU and my SSD.
I'm getting tired of the 60 Gigs SSD, i want more storage and stuff.
Info. I would like to OC later on, and yes i have watercooling, I only want to use One GFX atm.
I have a CM Haf X so ATX is kinda a must.
The rams i have are http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231460 :)
Hope u guys can follow me :)
If SSD is out of price range with Mobo + CPU just never mind then :)

Hi,
I have the same CPU, and i don't see much benefit in upgrading to LGA 1150. Yes maybe there is 10% improvement form the 2 generation i7 to 4 generation i7, but i think it's not worth it. Better get GPU and SSD for now, because i believe that the Sandy Bridge i7 will be still good gamer for another 2 years.Btw if you want to upgrade, here is something for your budget

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (€199.90 @ Caseking)
Motherboard: Asus Z87-A ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (€128.09 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk (€72.50 @ Pixmania DE)
Total: €400.49
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

Well, in that case, there is my suggestion for new parts for your system, if you like there is money left for even for i7 4770k for +100 Eur.

Hi GGWP1337. I'm Still rocking a MSI P67A-GD65, 2600k(mild overclock 4ghz),16 gigs (Four,4 gig sticks) Corsair Vengeance (1600,1.5 volt) ram, Zotac GTX 680, Raptor 600 gig , And a Sound blaster XFI. Still rocking solid after more than 3 three years! Not really worth it for upgrading to Haswell unless needing chipset improvements. I've built three Ivy Bridge i5 3570k systems also for the latest Chipset/CPU and native PCI Express 3 perks. The latest devils canyon cpu's with improved thermal paste intrigues me, But starting new would probably be too pricey for the peace of mind you would get sticking with what you already have. Anyways., Sandy Bridge is still very fast and capable platform. No weird voltage or heat issues and will probably last longer than the newer first gen (Haswell) cpu's. I suggest finding a good Z77 or Z68 board Used/New and maybe even a K series of your 2600 or 3770k for cheap. That would be cheaper and you could get yourself a better SSD and or maybe better video card. I hope this helps you out a little even though this is months too late.
