A few years ago I used the help of the great people here on these forums to pick components to build my first PC. I really had no idea what I was doing and I am honestly amazed that I was able to build the thing and get it running at all, but I did. My knowledge on PC components hasn't changed much but I am ready to upgrade it and would like some help deciding what to upgrade/where my money would be best spent. My budget is about $1500 but I can go higher if there are some compelling recommendations for certain components.
My current PC build:
Win 8.1 OS
ASROCK z77 Extreme 4 Mobo
i7 3770k @ 3.5Ghz (stock)
8Gb 1.5V 1600Mhz RAM
GTX 670 FTW LE 2GB VRAM (x2 SLI)
Corsair HX750 PSU
Sandisk 128GB SSD (for OS etc.)
Seagate Barricuda 1TB HDD (games movies etc)
I know for certain I need to upgrade my GPU (Thinking GTX 980) and my SSD and HDD are getting full but would like to hear what people here have to say about what components I should upgrade as I am ignorant as to what the latest and great parts are these days.
Also, would it make sense to keep one of my GTX 670's as a Physx card?
Any advice/help is greatly appreciated.
