First and foremost, I'm very much a 'bang for your buck' kinda guy. I have a family I need to support, so I can't go around upgrading my computer all the time.
Currently I have:
I5-750 @ 4ghz (Stable and temps are fine, so might try to get to 4.3 in the future)
Asus P7P55D
XFX 5870
4GB's of RAM
1920x1080
I know for a fact I am getting a new graphics card, most likely a 670, possibly a 680 because I might be getting a deal from a friend.
I know the new GPU will provide a pretty noticeable boost to performance, but my question is, is it worth another 500~ dollars to get an 2500k and a new motherboard (eying the Sabertooth Z77) and perhaps upgrade to 8GB's of RAM? What kind of performance increase would I gain from getting these upgrades?
Any advice/opinions would be much appreciated.
