Upgrade yes or no?

Last response: in Systems

hey everyone,
I was asking myself if its any good to upgrade my rig.

My build now is a

i7 860 2.8gh
with mobo (don't know which by heart, but no Sata 3 or USB 3)
16 GB DDR3 corsair vengeance
asus ATI HD 5850

2 OCZ 120 GB SSD in Raid 0 to startup and games

I want to go to a rig of about a grand:

i5 3570K
GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold
ASUS GTX670-DC2-2GD5

the SSD's and RAM will pass from the old to the new build, just bought them a few months ago
I would also like to experiment with OC in the new build so i also added some extra fans and new CPU cooler.

Noctua NF-A14 FLX 140x140x25
Cooler Master Hyper212 Evo

any sugestions

Looks good, but do you need such a massive PSU for that system? Is it that you plan on going SLI in the near future?

And a GTX 670 wouldn't really top out your current CPU as-is when considering games, but you'd gain a slight bit from the clock increase. You'd get better performance just about everywhere else, though.

Maybe not,
I have a 650 W corsair in my old system, i could use that one in my new one.
i dont know for sli, never done it before. maybe i could sli with my old card... but is it worth it? (if i could fit them in my case because the card is massive)
