My current build

Rampage IV Extreme
3930k
GTX 690 SLI
Corsair Dominator Platinum 2666mhz 32GB
2TB Western Digital Caviar Black
256GB Samsung 840 PRO
Corsair AX1200i
H100i

I'm thinking of upgrading to the Rampage IV Black because the Extreme has been giving me too many problems lately. Also, after a terrible experience with ASUS customer support and RMA'ing my board, I don't really want to wait 2-3 months to supposedly get my board fixed only to receive the board unfixed. I'm thinking of getting rid of my Western Digital and getting 1TB Samsung EVO. But since the 1TB 850pro is coming out in September, I don't really know what to do. Should I wait a little longer?

Should I sell my 690s? Or should I wait for 800 series to come out? I am actually pretty content with my GPU, although it does suck when I'm playing games maxed out on my U3011.

Is it better to wait for the later x99 platforms and Haswell-E or should I sell everything I have and upgrade now?

Lastly, I can't find ANY waterblocks for the 690. Can anyone link me to a site where they sell 690 waterblocks? Thank you!
