Hey everyone with tax time coming up I am considering upgrading my Gaming build from late 2011. The only thing I have upgraded since I originally built it was Video Cards and added 2 SSD's. The current build is as follows

I5 2500K @4.5GHZ
Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68
2X 660ti SC
750w Corsair Hx series
Corsair H100
16gb G Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1333

Now I was considering going to a I7 4930K and a 780Ti and better ram. I was also considering keeping my 2500k and just getting a 780 and new Ram. Is the 2500k still a viable option for gaming or should I just bite the bullet and go to haswell. One other this is I want to get away from the SLI setup thats why i want to get a 780. I am open to any suggestions also

The 2 x GTX 660ti SSCs will be as fast (or maybe a little faster) as the GTX 780. You won't notice any gaming improvement. The Haswell i7's impressive capabilities won't benefit you much in gaming. Plus you will have to shell out for a new MB. Faster RAM will help a tiny bit. But you'll have spent a ton of money for a small amount of noticeable improvement.
