$1200 upgrade/new

[Shutoutboy]

I am looking to upgrade or build a new computer. Mine recently died something happened to the motherboard.

 

My old system was

Level 10Gt case (custom painted)

Gigabyte G1 Sniper X58

Intel i7 960 Corsair H100

12GB Ram

2x 580

2x120gb Wildfire SSD (raid 0 for operating system)

Corsair HX850 PSU

various hard drives.

 

I also have a Corsair HX1000 PSU and few older video cards

 

I either want to put a new CPU, MB and Ram in the system. or sell everything a do a completely new rig.

I was thinking either a 6700k, 5820k or a 5930K

 

What do you guys think?

I would just upgrade the mobo/cpu/ram for now, and save up money for when those 580's/SSDs die.

I have no idea how good SLI 580s are but they sound like they do fine. (If not throw in a 980TI at ~1300, but idk if you want to do that or not)

5820k is a go.

 

Don't go for 5930k, meaningless price just for 200Mhz. And you can achieve that speed or way more in OCing the 5820k.

Replace the motherboard and buy a 980ti to go with the current system.

I cannot get a motherboard unfortunately. I'm trying to RMA but it's 2 years out of warranty.

I was thinking on possible waiting for the 6900 series processors
