I'm trying to decide between selling my old computer and upgrading to a new one, or keeping it.
My main reasons for selling are aesthetics and SLI problems.
My current system is:
-i73770k
-H100
-16GB Ram
-2x GTX 670s
-720W PSU
-Define R4
-Sabrtooth Z77 Motherboard
The system I'd like to move to is:
-i5 4690k
-H100i
-16GB Ram
-GTX 780
-750W PSU
-NZXT H440
-Asus ROG VII Ranger
I'd appreciate your opinions on whether I should upgrade or just keep my current system.
 
Solution
you would just be wasting cash if you scrapped your current build.

keep what you have. at most just get a better graphics card or make small changes to tweak performance.
My opinion?

keep your current system.

Only upgrade when your old system is not doing the job and you can make a substantial improvement.

In this case, a 4670K is not a big jump, and a GTX780 may be slower(but will avoid sli issues)

Why change a 720w psu for a 750w psu unless your 720w unit is crap?

Why change a H100 to a H100I?

It sounds like you have the itch to spend a bit.

What I might suggest:

Go ahead and scratch it.

Upgrade the graphics to a GTX780ti or whatever the equivalent GTX8xx is.

If your psu is crap, replace it with a quality unit regardless.

You must be pleased with the H100 so keep it. But, I would use a quieter air cooler.

If you have not done so, buy a SSD.

If you don't have a second monitor buy one.

Or... upgrade to a 1440P monitor.
