Because im the kind of guy that likes to keep on top of the latest tech curve, I was possibly maybe thinking about upgrading my pc parts, and I wanted to ask the community what they thought of this:

I would just carry over my 2tb harddrive whilest buying that new ssd, and I would use my current ODD and case. (NZXT Phantom 820)

would not build that gaming pc right now with the newer haswell-e cpu going to drop in a few months. the newer cpu wont fit on the older 2011 mb. also both nvidia and amd are trying to drop soon newer gpu on 20mm.

A lot cheaper (yet almost equal) CPU, SLI with two cheaper GTX 780Tis and no wifi adapter (motherboard has that already).
