System Overhaul, looking for suggestions!

[TXBlazez]

Hey guys! i am considering upgrading from a GTX 970@1490mhz and a 3570k @4.2ghz. Right now i am looking at the 3770k (used for $275) and a GTX 980 ti (Zotac AMP) so here is my reasoning! I don't want to change socket type since that is an additional 150$ for the motherboard and i am only getting maybe 10% improvement in performance (which will be nullified when i oc the cpu), the 980 ti non AMP (info from reviews) is getting about the same OC as the amp version since maxwell kinda caps out around 1500mhz ish. I own a 144hz Gsync 1080p display and having high frame-rates is incredibly important to me as a competitive player and i am hoping the 980 ti will get me 120+ FPS on most FPS titles at Ultra-High settings

Sooo! does that make sense? is there any massive flaw to my plan that because i am so invested i somehow fail to see? i get hyperthreading because i do alot of 3D rendering and photoshop work along with premiere pro rendering (getting another 8gb ram set) I get the 980 ti to max games out at 120+FPS (even though i think its overkill)

(sorry if there are spelling mistakes! i am going without sleep today 😛)

you could also just get a second 970 if your mobo support SLI

My motherboard does indeed support SLI however i don't want to deal with the 3.5gb vram cap and horrible SLI scaling, i am also going to be selling most of my current system so in theory it should be almost the same to sell my 970 for 300 and buy the ti for 660 and only lose 10-30$ on it.
