My rig:
i5 3570k
ASUS z77
EVGA GTX 660 SC
Corsair Veng. 2 x 4GB
west. digital 1TB
Corsair 650w

Obviously it's time for a new gpu, maybe double my ram and equip a solid state...but what about my cpu? Can the over clocked third gen processor hang with today's chips? Is it really necessary to upgrade. Being an 1155 socket, I'm pretty sure the only available upgrade without having to upgrade the mobo would be the i7 3770k. Opinions?
 
Solution
i5 3570k is still Good enough to handle even the best single gpus. I would recommend wasting most of your resources on your video card instead.
