Upgrading?

[ThatSweetGamer]

Alright, on an earlier post about a week or two ago I said I was getting a 750GB SSD for my birthday since I was going to get $300 for my birthday. But today is my birthday and I actually got more money than I thought I was going to get and I want to upgrade my rig. So my build is here: http://pcpartpicker.com/b/MVD and I want to upgrade. Would this be a good upgrade?

I have ~$450 to spend. I'll end up RAID 0ing my 3 SSD's and Overclocking the 4670k. All I do is game and render from time to time. And I need more SSD space which is why I got another SSD.

If your having trouble playing games with your processor then upgrade. But if you can live with it for a bit you can wait for the Haswell Refresh.

How long until that, do you think?

Will probably see unlocked processors before end of year I think.

Spend a extra 5$ on the MSI g45 its worth it to me.

Why raid 0? What are you rendering? 

[ThatSweetGamer]

Why raid 0? What are you rendering? 

Because I want faster loading times on my games, and 1080p videos (once in a while).

What do 1080p videos have to do with raid 0?

You asked what I was rendering?

Oh. There's no need for a ssd raid for rendering 1080p videos..
