i5 2500k/GTX 570 3dmark

decided to download the free version of 3dmark.

As i'm getting a new build soon i figured i'd do a little benchmark.
Wondering if these are typical scores for this cpu/gpu setup.

Or have i given scores for something that isn't even viable anymore.

They seem pretty average to me. I don't see much of a reason to upgrade from a 2500K but its always time to upgrade the GPU no matter who you are.

Thanks.
Neither do I, i know it's a great CPU but its on the 1155 socket. If i could carry this cpu over to my next build i would but its easier for me to move onto the z97 chipset with a new cpu than bother trying to find a good 1155 mobo and sticking myself with older tech.
