Hello guys! I'm in a little bit of a pickle at the moment.. I currently boasts a i5-2500k @ 4.8ghz stable, max temps of 70c, possible hits 71-72.. I've been able to hit 5ghz with this chip. I'm currently at a point in life where I can safely afford to upgrade some components. I'm debating between upgrading Mobo/CPU and going MSI Gaming 7 / i7-4790k, or going for a GPU upgrade of a GTX 780.. The reason I wanna upgrade my CPU more is because I currently am using a very cheap asus motherboard, ( P8Z 68-V LX ).. And I want a more stable " heart of the system ".. Anyway where do you guys think I will see most my gains?

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well. I just thought it would be so cool to own a newer i7 xD! Do you think streaming wise with my higher clock speeds and with it being an i5, I'll be able to stream 720/60fps?In one month Intel is releasing all the 5th Generation Broadwell processors likely I heard, so it wouldn't be new anyways in a month.

Ha ha yeah I heard that as well Turkey, xD thanks everybody.. I currently own a 700W PSU, but it's old-school it's a Xmigatek i'm not sure if you guys remember that brand or not. Also I'm running Corsair Vengeance 8gb 1600mhz, should i go higher mhz on the ram? And what are good max temps to have @ 4.8ghz?

Really o.0 can you recommend a good one? I assume modular would be the way to go now.I dont know the budget but this is really great http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... and it will power everything with upgrading the mobo and cpu and other stuff..i personally have that model but 850w bought it because it was last evga supernova that i could buy in my local shop its tier one so you have nothing to worry about. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1804779/power-... ( if you dont know what im talking about)
