About £1500.

Cheers.
I'm looking at a complete new build but its gonna cost me nearly £5000, so i'm looking at recouping as much back as i can.
this gives me an idea on what i can ask for this rig.
Its served me well, but its time to move onwards and upwards.
Need something to run my new 4k monitor anyway and can't be bothered with swapping a few bits over here and there, might aswell just do the lot lol

This will run everything easy on 4K. Plus, it's in a white and black color scheme, has USB 3.1, an m.2 based SSD for maximum performance, 3 WD Blacks for speed and reliability, 2 Titan Xs, an extremely well made 1200w Super Flower PSU, 64GB RAM and a beautiful looking case. Oh, and 8 cores to play with

With what you have I see no reason for a total upgrade for gaming.
I would get new cards, the case you like, and overclock the processor.

to be honest, i was initially looking at just overclocking the processor and doing a 980 sli, but i have no idea on earth how to overclock this.
i know its not hard, if you know what your doing.

its scary how close this build is to the one i put together last night.
just spoke to overclockers and the fella said to just buy 1 titan for now and another when the price drops.
i have a month to decide whether im gonna run mine into the ground or sell it and start afresh.

Their tons of guides on the net just google your board and overclocking.
For the titian I would pass way overpriced the 980 ti should be out before to long.
Although a bit dated for a gaming PC you still have a very good processor note my siggie I still run my i5 2500K
