My current system is probably adequate for most.
Custom built:
1st Gen Core i7
16GB DDR3
Blu-ray Drive
128GB 2nd Gen Intel SSD X-25
Old Old Intel Motherboard, which does not support Sandy or Ivy
MSI Geforce 680
650 Watt Antec
The video card, memory, hard drive, PSU and disc drive can all be re-used
Even my Antec case is big, large, and manageable
My problem is my outdated aging processor and motherboard
I've been looking at the B75 and H77 motherboards, but dont know if they can fit my video card and all components
The Z77 keeps getting recommended also
I plan on getting the i7-3770, to have an ivy core i7, that way I'll be set for another 2-3 years.
My question is, am I better off buying a system like this and swapping components and selling what I don't need:

or just buying the individual motherboard and processors for $400 and swapping on my current build?
Recommendations and answers would be appreciated!
