Next generation system

[Samuel Wennberg]

Been a long time since I visited this forum, about two years ago I believe, when I bought my last system which was;
GTX 680
i5 2500k(4.2)
8gb ram
Now I'm worried how my computer will handle the next generation titles, especially my ram and CPU so I'm looking to buy a new computer, but when should I do this? When broadwell comes out, start of 2014, or just do it now for christmas? What system would I need to have a good system maxing most titles, for at least a year or two? Is this system decent and will it at least be able to run medium on next gen games? If not, give me suggestions. I would like a system that maxes out most titles as I said, so CPU is the biggest worry. I mean, GPU can always go SLI if I need extra performance right? My gtx 680 would be fine for next gen I presume, but my CPU and Ram not so much.. But I'm not so good at building a computer on my own so I'm gonna have a pre-built one.

SLI will depend on your motherboard and psu. The card itself will be able to. Anyway, that computer is very powerful. No reason for an upgrade now. You would have to spend $700+ on a gpu to see a (miniscule) improvement.

I think you can wait, your processor is still a beast and adding more RAM isn't too expensive (but I don't think you even need it). If you think your 680 is lacking, you can always add another one in SLI, which I think is the better move from a budget oriented perspective, if your MoBo and PSU are able to handle it, that is...
