I wasnt quite sure what you wanted, did you want a new rig all together or just parts to upgrade it? Anyrate something like this would be perfect falling just short of $2000. You dont need 2x970's but you'll easily be able to max most games with this rig at basically any resolution.

Honestly, with the system you already have, I'd suggest maybe looking at video cards, and sit on the rest of the money until the next round of CPUs come out.

I wouldn't even mess with it, might try and track down a second 780Ti used. Roughly the same performance as a GTX970 already.

Only possible upgrade i see is to buy a GTX Titan X, the rest of the system is basically up to date.

Just buy a gtx 980ti

Eximo · Jul 17, 2015

980Ti is about the best option. Still not really ready for 4K though, really takes a pair of them.

s1lent :

I was thinking of updating my GPU to SLI with 2-980TI's 6tb w/ACX cooler superclocked+plus. And getting a AcerXB270HU monitor. Will this work with my current system? Or do I need to upgrade my cpu to a Intel i7 5820k? Thanks for your help.

You can run two high end GPUs with a z87 board. Power supply is about the right size. Should be fine.
