Budget?

Budget?

Not a lot...

Thinkning about like 600-800 dollar...

You'll need a new mobo to get that 5930K. Not to mention, the 5930K is $600 on its own. If you have $800, maybe get two GTX 970's and put them in SLI or get a GTX 980 and more fans. The 2500K is a decent CPU. 

 

Maybe just get a 2700K and a GTX 970.

Then sell it on eBay or Craigslist when you're done with it, but you're not going to get a great experience X-firing an older GPU. A newer stronger single card is much more worth the money.
