So I have a budget of around $600 and I want some opinions of what I should upgrade next.
next.

My build right now is http://pcpartpicker.com/user/axels01/saved/PPFrxr

And what I want to upgrade is my motherboard to one that supports dual SLI builds.
For that I am thinking one with LGA1150 or LGA1120 CPU socket cus 2011 and 1150 is usually better than 1155 cpu's and I need it too support at least 32 gb of ram at least 1600Mhz. To that I ofcorse need a new and better cpu.

I also need a new ssd (512gb) and a new PCU (750-800w 80+ gold and fully modular) tho this can wait a while.
As you may see by the case size wont be a problem.

Thanks in advance for all responses ! :)

 

only thing that "needs" an upgrade is that gtx 660. I recommend a gtx 970, then save some more money for a SSD that PSU is also fine

 
Okej so I think im going to go with the gtx 970 but what PSU should I get?
In sweden (where I live) a gtx 970 costs around $470 so I have $130 to the PSU what should I get I want one with like 750/800w and 80+gold as said.
 
Well I just got hold of a Gtx 970 I installed it and it works great I also got a Evga 750w 80+gold.

Now I am going to get around $300 to $400 for a cpu and $150 to $230 for a MOB im getting the money for these parts @ new year time this year so its a while away but in thinking of a Intel Core i7-4820K and a Asus X79 Deluxe ATX LGA2011.

As this is my biggest inetrest is computers I don't realy give two f**ks about what I "need" for power I always wana save money but yah...

If you know another cpu and ore motherboard what works great pleas reply but I still want an LGA2011 cus they support better cpus the best cpu for LGA1150 is one for $300 and there is better once for LGA2011.
And I got hold of a ssd from my friend who tradet it for my old PSU it is on 240gb but that is enough for me eight now
(It was new and not used).
 
Okej I don't know too much about that stuff so thats why I asked here thanks but can I go for a x89 or do I "need" a x99 one ?
im getting my money for these parts @ new year time as said is there going to come out any new and or better mob betwene now and then ?
 
that z77 board is fine, if you really need it just upgrade to a I7 3770k
or if you have the money go with z97.

but really I would stick with that I5 and a nice gpu if your willing to spend the money on a whole new platform I would just recommend a higher end GPU like a gtx 980ti.

also when the new intel lines of CPU's come out LGA 2011 will be just as dead as 1155.
so saying that I recommend you stick with the I5 and just throw some money at a GPU.

if you really want to keep that gtx 970 then grab another one and go SLI if 3.5gb of VRAM is enough for you,
and also amusing you want to keep the gtx 970 go with a z97 MOBO that supports SLI and get a I5 4690k
