I asked this awhile back but it's about that time again. Trying to WvW in GW2, and of course streaming has told me it's obviously time for my to upgrade. My CPU of choice is very much likely to be the 2500K, but I was wondering what mobo y'all would suggest? I only -need- one video card slot. I currently have a 560Ti. Sometime down the line I might do SLI but it's likely I'd upgrade to a 670 or something before I bought another 560 to SLI 'em.

I currently have 1333 RAM and a 560Ti. Outside of that I don't really have any requirements. Having atleast one normal PCI slot would be nice, but far from a requirement.
(P.S. Do y'all think I should focus on upgrading my video card soon? It never really gets hot or even stresses but I wonder if it'd make for much smoother gameplay on 1080.
Edit: Oh wow just saw the 670 runs $400 on sale. Never mind on that for now. Would an SLI 560 run well? I mean another 560 is only $170 and I really only upgrade comps every few years or when I can afford it.
Right now I run ~60FPS in WoW @ Max with 16x, sometimes it dips down (A lot of times) And around 30 in GW2 but it seems locked to 30 for whatever reason. But it gets hella choppy in huge events.
I assume a lot of this is the processor because mine is terrible, but not sure if the video card is hurting it. Since I know the Extreme3 Gen 4 (I think?) has SLI capabilities, and is only $20 more than the Gen3.
Edit 2: I also see the 3570K (I think it was) is only $20 more then the 2500K. I've been following the 2500K religiously for along time, and didn't follow 3rd gen at all - How is it panning out?
