I already have a basic road-map on what I want to upgrade, but I do want some feedback from the LTT community. 

 

 

Current Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7-5930k (Non-overclocked)

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i GTX Liquid CPU Cooler

Motherboard: ASRock X99 Extreme4

Graphics Card: Giga-Byte GeForce GTX 980 Ti

Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB DDR4-2133

Storage: SeaGate Barracuda 2TB & SanDisk SSD Plus 120GB

Wireless Internet Adapter: TP-Link *Insert Numbers Here*

Case: Fractal Design Define R4

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNova 750W G2 80+ Gold Certified

 

 

Road-map:

Sell TP-Link Adapter, since it isn't in use anymore.

Buy Corsair 540 Case

Sell Fractal Design Define R4

ASUS Rampage V Extreme Motherboard

Sell ASRock X99 Extreme4

Upgrade PSU to 1200W Platinum Certified (Corsair AX1200i?)

Sell EVGA PSU

Buy EVGA HYBRID 980 Ti

Save up a while...

Buy another EVGA HYBRID 980 Ti

Sell Giga-byte 980 Ti

Buy NZXT Kraken X61

Sell Corsair H100i

Buy i7-5960X or wait for Broadwell-E. Overclock to 4.3 GHz. 

 

 

So, what do you think I should upgrade, or do you think I should keep my current upgrade road-map or even my current build?

I'd say wait for Pascal if you're spending that much.

What monitor are you using?

Dual Acer S220HQL's. I forgot to mention getting new monitors. I will probs get the new ones after the GPU's are in. Yeah I need to upgrade those. What about some ASUS ROG Swifts?

Ehh maybe. Dual 980 Ti's will do until some seriously graphics intensive games that not even dual 980 Ti's can handle. And this will be over a course of a year or two.

Buying new monitors would be the first thing I'd do cause right now your system will not get better cause the visual quality is effectively bottlenecked by the monitor

Alright. I may just do that after selling the adapter so I have a little extra cash to spare. When I was originally planning my build in October last year, I had no clue what monitors I should pick, so I just went with the cheapest 1080p monitors I could find.

I went from a crappy laptop to a decent gaming pc and I compare the upgrade of gaming experience to that ofor going from a low quality 1080p to a high quality 34 inch ultrawide.

 

Not saying you should go with an ultrawide just using it as an example.
