Upgrade now?

For my birthday my dad and mom said they would cover me for upgrading to an i7+780ti!

 

Is this a platform worth upgrading to from 3570k?

 

I have a MASSIVE project coming up that'll require me to use a lot of 3dsmax/blender + unity.

 

 

Should I take the kind gift or should I just tell my parents to pocket the cash?

I'd start out with just the 780ti for now. 

 

But, if pocketing the cash is an option....Then, maybe just try what you've currently got and upgrade when you start to have an issue. (Also, a regular 780/290x is probably enough as well).

stick with your current CPU

 

get the 780Ti and a nice 1440P monitor

 

 

throw in a SSD

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.
