I'm considering to upgrade my current motherboard and CPU.
I currently have
Intel core i7 3770k
Asus sabertooth Z77
Corsair H100i
16 GB (4x4) G.Skill Ripjawz 2133 Mhz
Corsair Force 3
2 x Palit Jetstream GTX 680 4GB in SLI
Cooler Master Cosmos II
XFX 1050W Pro series
I would like to upgrade my CPU in the future to the Ivy-Bridge-E series. That would require me to upgrade my Motherboard to socket 2011 as well. I'm thinking of buying the successor of the i7 - 3930K with an high-end ASUS motherboard (Rampage V or something).
I might get another 4x4 kit if the motherboard support 8 DIMMs.
I'm willing to spend a total of €900~€1000
Reason I want to upgrade:
I want to be able to handle more virtual machines. I have to setup networks for my education and I'm using VMware to do so. (at least 3 Server 2012's and 2 Windows 8 machines, but probably more) Also, I really want a new motherboard to get some extra space between my Video Cards. My current top card can reach up to 90 C under full load with Furmark + Prime95 in my case (while my CPU gets only 65 C, the air temperature in my case is fine).
Question:
Does someone know more about the release date, or maybe even the models they are going to release? Would this be a smart decision, or would you suggest another upgrade?
Is there an estimated price? Would the new series be more expensive, or would the successor cost the same as the current, and would the current lower in price?
