So if you look at the main build in my sig, you will see I have a FX 6350 and a GTX 780, I was able to find a good deal on a Intel 3570k and a ASUS P8Z77-V LX.

 

The CPU and MB come with a PSU, RAM and CPU cooler, for about $320 shipped. I've been wanting to get a CPU that's a bit better than what I have now, and for the price is it worth it in your opinion?

Do it, then sell your current cpu and board, and the new/used ram and psu.
