Change your i7 for an ivy bridge (if not already) or go with lga 2011 if you have the money. Get faster (or more) ram. Get a better heatsink and try to overclock your cpu higher. Or the ultimate solution, buy 2 i7 3930k and buy a motherboard that can run both and overclock them to 5ghz each... :lol:
 


Would have to be 2 Xeon's, not i7's...

Regardless, OP, just be happy with what you have. There really ISN'T much you can do at this point.

An i7 3960x (and a X79 board, of course, with 64GB Quad Channel RAM) would be about as far as you can go for a single CPU system, should you choose to go in that direction, but you'd just be doing it for e-peen status only.

find another hobby, and learn to overclock. thanks you retarded pieces of ***. i have a 2600k at 5Ghz and see no real world benefit to upgrade. And i have decided to get a new case (of all things) obviously no speed increase here :) But im sick of looking at my same old pc and think it would be fun to cram it all into a smaller more portable package. O well thanks anyway
