Is there any particular reason you want to ditch your current PC? Because for gaming, they will be almost identical. An i7 2600k is still on par with the newer i5/i7s especially if you overclock it to 4+GHz and your RAM to ~21333 or 2400MHz. The GTX 960 is also only faster than the 760 in some newer games, and not by a whole lot. In older titles, it's only just as fast. Your money would be MUCH better spent on simply buying a new GPU, a larger SSD, and maybe some new higher speed RAM in case your current stuff doesn't overclock well.
