OCZ vertex 3 120GB

WD RED NAS 3TB x2

i7 2600k from old system

8GB of Corsair XMS memory

EVGA GTX 560 ti 448

proposed system builds

ASUS P8h77-i(owned) or should i upgrade to P8z77-i(maybe?)

i5 3570k(needed)???

Corsair XMS 8g RAM(owned)

EVGA GTX 670 4GB FTW+(needed)

OCZ vertex 3 120GB(owned)

There is really no need to upgrade the motherboard if the CPU is already compatible with it and it won't improve your gaming experience.
