I am in the market to either upgrade my system or build new. Building new I would run a budget of about $2,000-2500. My question is how big of a difference will I see with a new system and is the cost/performance ratio better on upgrading what I currently have. I use my computer mostly for gaming on a 1920x1080 screen.
Current Build:
Processor: Intel I7 2600k (currently stock clock)
Mobo: ASrock Z68 Extreme 7 Gen 3
Ram: Gskill Ripjaw X 8gb DDR3 1866
Video Cards: EVGA Superclock GTX570 x2
PSU: 950W PC Power and Cooling
What I am considering doing with my current build if it ends up being worth it is to wait for the new Nvidia Cards and upgrade to a GTX x70 or x80 version of that card. Add 8gb more ram. OC my processor, plus a few other misc upgrades that wouldn't really effect performance in games.
If I build a whole new system should I jump on the Haswell-E train even though components are more expensive right now; or go with a 4790k?
Any help would be great as I keep talking myself into and then out of both of these options.
