    260x-750TI
    270(x)-760
    280/285-960
    280x-770
    290(x)-970, 780, 780Ti
    980 is slightly above 290x, about ~10-20% depending on resolution.
    295x2- ~10% Better than a TitanX.  50% better than a 980.
     
    For you, the only Nvidia upgrades would be a 970, 980, a TitanX, or a SLI config.  (Oh and I guess the 780/780Ti, but I don't think you can find them new anymore.)
     
     
    The most cost effective high end GPU solution you can get right now is a 290 Crossfire, which will perform on par with 980 SLI at 1440p and 4K for much less money.

    Why do you not simply get a different graphics card?

    I know, the Windforce looks awesome, but instead of spending even more money on a new case, put the money into a new motherboard and CPU.

    But if you have the money, then why not build a completly new rig? If you want to go that route, then I recommend an i5-4790k or similar.

    if you can, I'd go with the I7-5820k. that would give you the benifit of 6 cores without being prohibitively expensive.

    I would spend a few dollars more to get this. The CPU is unlocked, though I took out the cooler. I replaced the motherboard with one I think is a slightly better value. I also replaced the PSU with a nicer one.

    Go with i5 instead, more performance for less moneny (I assume it is for gaming)

    Expected you to find something really old, or an alive animal in a dirty PC.
    disappointed.
     
    It looks like an old CPU, but not sure which one.. The silver stuff looks like thermal paste to me and I think the small pads are for keeping the cooler 'away'

    Oh, I didn't realise you edited. Then, yes, yes it is. If you have any extra money to spend, save up for an MSI X99 SLI Plus and a 5820k. That'd mean having to buy new RAM too. I'd recommend 16GB seeing as you are editing

    I'm pretty sure I need a PSU upgrade if I were to buy a Titan X. Also, I think I was clear on the whole beast PC thing, i5 is great for gaming and shit but I edit a whole lot more than I game. So an 4690k is not going to cut it at all.

    Don't get the V300 SSD, it was subject to speed slowdowns due to dodgy NAND replacement antics. This may have been fixed, but be on the safe side and get a Crucial BX100 or MX100 instead

    I'd wait too see how the pricing is effected when the next gen AMD cards and the 980Ti drop and make a choice then. Assuming your r9 280 is still running strong I would just use it as a hold over until June/July.
     
    How is the pricing on parts over there? I haven't tried helping pricing out a build in Greece for a while.

    Well I would go for the 970's in SLi  a lot more power behind it; and there isn't much that a 980 will run that you wont get playable on the 970.

    and that's it
     
    The Titan X and 980 destroy any single card AMD has right now
