I am thinking of upgrading my pc(now 2 years old) because of all the new games that are and will be coming out. I bought my previous pc from Novatech becuase I didn't want to mess it all up building one myself. Now 2 years later i would like to give it a go. My Novatech pc has these specs:

Intel Core 3770k
Evga Gtx 670
Gigabyte GA-Z77P-D3 Motherboard
4x4gb ram
120gb ssd
2TB Hard drive
Windows 7

The pc i was thinking to upgrade to: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ysv6yc

Wondering what parts can i use from my old pc to build this new one?
I think the SSD,Hard drive and Ram should be fine but what about the cpu etc?
I want the build to be futureproof and use as much of my old pc as possible, the main upgrade is the SLI 970's.

Also what monitor should i be using?
I already have two 24" monitors and was thinking of getting a 1440p one? 4k maybe?

Any help is much appreciated :D
Ask me any questions about my systems if needed
 
Hi there
To be honest, you don't need to be changing much of your current pc at all. There will not be a very noticeable performance increase by changing the CPU at all, specially since you can overclock your current chip if needs be.
Upgrading to SLI 970 will make more of a difference though, so rather concentrate on that.
You do not mention what speed RAM you are currently using, so potentially there too you can squeeze more performance by upgrading.

Ok thanks for the feedback :).I think it is 1600mhz RAM. As i would need to upgrade my motherboard because this one wont support SLI, do you think this will work: http://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/P8Z77V_LK/ (or recommend another). I also have a 7.1 Soundblaster soundcard for my Razer Tiamats. Finally, how easy would it be to replace a motherboard?
