Hi,

I just got a little extra money saved up on the side and was thinking of upgrading my PC. I just like to get some opinions around on whether to upgrade my PC now or just wait another year till better hardware upgrade options appears.

These are my current PC specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-C14 CPU Cooler ($79.71 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: MSI Z77 MPOWER ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($198.49 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Value 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($88.99 @ Newegg)
GPU: GTX Titan SLI (Standard edition)

The r9295x2 looks very attractive to buy. im considering a SLi option to replace my titans.
My budget $3000-$4500.

Any advice would be appreciated.
 
The amount you have to upgrade is the amount I need to build my PC xD.... Which won''t be done for a long time :I

Uh you could if you really wanted to upgrade your cpu but I don't believe it's needed. As for your cards... they are already overkill. There is nothing else you would need. As far as I see it you don't need to at the moment.
 


Well the only reason why I would upgrade is that I use my computer purely for gaming and nothing else. And Im a bit OCD when it comes to getting the maximum framerate possible for next gen games.

I have a yamakasi catleap monitor (2560x1440 @ 120fps) therrefore, I would like to push the limits of my GPU and get at least 80-100fps++ on my monitor with all the graphic options maxed out. (games like Watch Dogs, Assassins Creed..etc)

Even though a lot of people say u cant see a difference after 60fps on gaming; trust me u definately can.

I only get around 40-60 fps for even the new spiderman game. (but the game itself is not properly optimized for SLI; so thats understable)
