What to upgrade?

[xxxHellcatsxxx]

So I have a PC I built a while ago and I'm looking to upgrade it. Honestly, if I had the money I would just build a whole new one but sadly that's not an option at the moment. Here is my PC:

 

ASUS Rampage III Formula LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

 

Intel Core i7-960 Bloomfield Quad-Core 3.2GHz LGA 1366 130W Desktop Processor BX80601960                               clocked at 3.6GHz

 

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-1       x3

 

Phanteks PH-TC14PE_BK 140mm UFB (Updraft Floating Balance) CPU Cooler0666CL9D-8GBRL

 

Kingston HyperX 3K SH103S3/240G 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (Stand-Alone Drive)       X2 in raid 0

 

MSI N680GTX TF 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 680 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

 

I also have a GTX 470 as a physx card. All in a Cooler Master half X case with a 1200 watt power supply running Windows 8.1 and 3 monitors (5760x1080).

 

 

Right now I am leaning towards getting 2 970s to replace my current cards, but I have also considered getting 1 980 and waiting to get another by xmas or waiting like 4 months and getting new motherboard, processor, and RAM. Just really cant decide what would be the best move.

Mainly b/c I want better gaming performance. 

 

I play a lot of World of tanks and RTS games.

depending on what you use your system for you might want to upgrade your ram as it is running at a slow speed and you only have 8gb but if your ram usage is still low then dont bother

Graphics for sure. Two 970s would be good.

The CPU might be getting a bit old, but with DX12 coming out soon, it might not be necessary to upgrade.

RAM SPEED DOESN'T MATTER!

Yes I apologize for that, I thought I was in a diff section.

 

EDIT: Any way I can move it or delete this one so I can repost In proper section?
