Contemplating upgrade, could use advice

[bdecker12]

My current set up is

i52500k @4.2ghz
gigabyte z68 mATX
corsair h60
corsair vengeance 8gb
60gb crucial m4 for OS
1tb spinpoint 7200rpm
radeon 5830
CM 600watt psu
in a NZXT phantom case

My video card is on its way out, so an upgrade there is needed. Just wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade my cpu/mobo. Is the upgrade from sandybridge and Z68 to haswell/z87 worth it? The money isn't really an issue, just wondering if it's worth the trouble.

Only thing I'd change is a new GPU and maybe a bigger SSD. Wait for Broadwell to upgrade the CPU/MB.

just go with a new gpu like a gtx 780 or a r290(x) ( as soon as the non reference coolers are released) and wait for broadwell.

Agree with Flens & Notarget in waiting for broadwell, anything else isn't worth it in the CPU/MB department.

Thanks guys, thats what I was hoping to hear. Probably go with a 280x, i play at 1080p and i think a 780 or 290x may be overkill lol

That will be a good choice.

not necessarily but the 280x is a very good choice aswell.
