Just built new system this past weekend
Ivy Bridge 3770K ( @4.5ghz)
Asus P8Z77V-Pro
8GB Crucial PC1600
Vertex 3 240GB (also have 1TB WD Black for storage)
1000w Cooler Master Gold PSU
(I kept my AMD 5970 for the GPU)
My question is -
Is it time to upgrade my 5970 or keep it little longer? I only game (besides standard apps). I play on a 30" HP screen at 2560x1600 and love to crank everything up ( as long as i'm at or above 60fps consistently). If so, what would you suggest? Would I get a noticeable improvement by going to an NVidia 670 or 680 or an AMD 7970? The new dual GPU card (GTX690) is way too much right now and no word on the 7990 yet, so i'm not considering those anytime soon. Should I wait things out a while longer or upgrade? Any advice is appreciated and thanks ahead.
