Alright so a few friends and I couldn't seem to handle real money poker games (Without someone getting pissed off)... But like to once a month play poker.

So long story short, we all put our money into a pool and bought a gift card that the winner would get.

Fortunately for me, I won for the first time, but have no idea what to do with the money. Especially considering I'm strictly limited to Newegg.

So help me upgrade (Or tell me if I should be waiting... And if so what I should be waiting for.)

Current system:
i7-2700k
CM Hyper 212+ Evo
hec Zephyr 750w PSU
MSI - P67A-GD65 Mobo
2 EVGA GTX 560 Ti SOC GPU's
Antec DF-85 Case


I'm good on storage, drives, but still have $400 to upgrade... Any help would be appreciated. I have another rig that could take parts from this one if I were to replace them, but I'm more interested in upgrading mine!

Maybe you could invest in some new AMD 7000 series GPU's when they come out.
That or the new Comos 2 case, which looks amazing.

Do you have any reason to want to upgrade, the system you listed should run anything you throw at it. I would just hold onto the giftcard, it doesn't expire.

Well not exactly, just figured it wouldn't hurt to bump the system up a bit more while I had the funds. Plus I don't want to be tempted to blow it on a new tv or something else... (I was already mulling the idea of putting a flatscreen up in my bathroom =S)

So yeah I couldn't think of anything else and wanted to see what other people would do if they were in my exact situation.

Thanks so far for the suggestions... Though any links to products would be appreciated too.

So far though, seems the consensus is to wait?

3 monitors, or a really nice 3-d monitor.

And the rest of the money would go to games of course.

Anyway no point in upgrading now. The 7970s aren't even out yet and just one is a bit more than $400 :p
