Hi

I have the money to upgrade my cpu and motherboard, and the cpu what ive been wanting is Intel Ivy Bridge-E Core i7-4820K and the motherboard would be MSI X79A-GD45-PLUS.
and also to buy a Kingston 120GB HyperX 3k SSD. im not sure should i upgrade or not so i thought to ask the community for the right answer.

If this is for gaming there is really no need what so ever to upgrade to a i7 you would really gain nothing but spending money for nothing.

Other than adding a SSD I cant see any real upgrade you would need with your current rig. The FX-8350 is a very good CPU and can really handle anything you would want to run. You already have a good GPU and PSU. You have good ram and if you have 8gig you have enough there also.

You could SLI your GPU if you wanted but other than the SSD there is not much to update with your rig.
Sorry did not read all the way down to see you already have SLI running. Need to learn to read everything. In that case just add a SSD.
