My current set up is
Motherboard - MSI P67A-GD53
CPU - i5 2500k (lazily overclocked with mobo OC genie button)
CPU Cooler - Arctic Freezer (Cant for the life of my remember what kind)
GPU - GTX 970
RAM - 8 GB DDR3 1600mhz
Case - Cooler Master HAF 912
PSU - Coolermaster 700w
I was considering getting
ASUS Maximus Ranger or Hero
i5 6600k or i7 6700k
A new case, perhaps Corsair 780t or Cooler Master Cosmos SE
Some form of liquid CPU Cooler, like the H series or Kraken
Some DDR4 RAM, I was looking at 16gb but read its pointless and 8 is enough.
I've come into some money (got an old deposit back from a swindling letting agent) and I'm jonesing for an upgrade. However I haven't decided if I'm just being silly. Money isn't really the issue, I'm going to be paying by Scans monthly payment as I don't want it all to come out at once but I can afford it easily.
Is it worth it? I mainly game and I can play things on high graphics on 1920x1080 but I get annoying stutters. I have considered simply buying another GTX 970, I've never done SLI before however.
I was planning (if at all) to do this soon but I gather with Black Friday and Cyber Monday coming it up, it might be smarter to hold on a bit.
Thanks in advance!
