Upgrade suggestions please?

[Dontcopy]

So guys... I have around $650US to spend on my PC. lol

Current specs:
Intel i7 870 @ 3.9Ghz
Sapphire HD7950 Vapor-X
Corsair H80
Corsair 400R
Corsair Dominators CL8 1600mhz
MSi P55-GD65
40GB Intel 320SSD
500GB Barracuda
150GB Velociraptor
3x1080P 23 Samsung Screens
Seasonic M12ii 620W

I was going to jump to an i5 4670k and add two SSD's in RAID 0 but the fact my PSU doesn't support Haswell stopped that.

So what would you do?

Any suggestions would be nice :3

1) Upgrade to Ivy Bridge, which when both chips are pushed hard, is better than Haswell anyways.

2) Putting SSDs in RAID 0 is a terrible idea - you're gaining no benefit and running double the risk of failure. Just get a single ~128GB drive to put windows and programs on. (Because remember, most games don't gain any benefit from being on a SSD.)

3) Consider buying a second 7950 if you upgrade to a crossfire-capable motherboard, to increase your performance when gaming on all three monitors.

and http://www.tomshardware.com/news/msi-gtx-760-hawk-geforce,23821.html wait for this, with 330$ USD left you should be able to grab one if not go with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127745

for warning, Im a MSI / Nvidia fan, Ive used their products since my very first computer build in 2003 when I was 13 and I still have that computer running as a show piece. MSI 6600GT, 128mb of GDDR3. . man it was a beast in the day. .

I agree with sable, you could either upgrade to ivy bridge or sandy bridge-e if you really need brute force.

Thanks for that guys, I'll probably look at the Ivy upgrade and a new single SSD for boot But are there any other suggestions?

Don't think so, I would save the rest of the money toward either games, peripherals, future upgrades, or just put it in the bank for a rainy day.
