    What Should I upgrade?

    I play pretty much every game you could think of, and when the next gen games start piling out, ill be playing a lot of them as well. My current build is.

    Intel® Core™ i5-4670K Processor (4x 3.40GHz/6MB L3 Cache)

    8 GB [4 GB X2] DDR3-1600 Memory Module - Corsair

    Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 -- 2x PCIe 3.0 x16, 4x USB 3.0, 6x SATA-III 6Gb/s

    Radeon 7770 - CrossFire Mode (Dual Cards)

    850 Watt - AZZA Dynamo 850W

    1 TB HARD DRIVE -- 32M Cache, 7200 RPM, 6.0Gb/s - Single Drive

    Corsair H55 Liquid Cooling



    Now what I can see, is an SSD is apparently really nice which I do not even have :P

    Graphics cards arent low end, but obviously not high end, TBH I got the second one free im not 100% sure if crossfiring even makes a huge difference maybe one of you could tell me cause im really wondering about that.

    but what do you guys think, is anything really out dated, what would you do first and what would you replace it with also.


    EDIT: Budget per item would be about 200-240$

    What is your total budget? Not a budget per item.
    i7-4770k - GTX 780 Ti - 16GB DDR3 Ripjaws - (2) HyperX 120s / Vertex 3 120
    ASRock Extreme3 - Sennheiser Momentums - Xonar DG - EVGA Supernova 650G - Corsair H80i

    Probably around 500$, I did per item, because it will most likely be an item a pay cheque type deal.

    I'd just buy SSD and be set, rest of it is okay for now I reckon. Save that money until 800 series gets released. :-P

    Suggestion:

    1) get an SSD, such as the 240GB Samsung 840 EVO ($170);
    2) sell those 7770s for $55-70 each, and put the remaining money towards either an R9-280x or a GTX770, such as the MSI Lightning or the Superclocked ACX from EVGA (GTX770 only).

    Does cross firing these increase their performance much? or not that much, and when does that come out.

    7770 in crossfire is slightly more powerful than an nVidia 580. It is, in my opinion, plenty of horsepower if you play at full HD.

    There has only been speculation about 800, Q1-2 of 2014 seems likely.

    Yes you should. How large is your OS partition?
