Upgrade PC ~ 2012

[LarsRIP]

Hey all

 

So I will be upgrading my PC over the summer. It is more or less from 2012, except a couple of changes due to hardware failure etc.

So my current parts are:

 

Corsair RM850W - New 2015 due to failure of first one
ASAS Maximus V GENE - New 2013 due to failure of first one 
Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 16GB
Intel i5 - 3570k
EVGA GTX 670 SC 4GB x 2 (SLI)
Intel SSD 330 Series - 120gb
Seagate 2TB HDD Green - New 2015 due to failure of first ones 

Closed-loop Single-Rad Corsair CPU Cooler - New 2014

 

So my idea was to upgrade basically all the parts, but economically I think it would make more sense for me to only upgrade the graphics card. Allowing me to put all the money towards that rather than spreading it out.

The heaviest workloads my PC encounter is photo/video editing and gaming. Not extreme editing though, just hobby photography and editing of ski-edits etc. 

I mostly game on a boring 60fps, 1080p monitor, but I will probably use the PC in my living room with a 4K TV for casual play, which is a reason for me upgrading, as well as my 670s are slugging a bit in newer titles now.

I feel that upgrading CPU, RAM and MB wouldn't really give me much back with regards to the cost, and that investing in a 980Ti would be smarter? I might get a newer and bigger SSD as well

 

So any suggestions? I'm thinking new GPU (980ti) and maybe a bigger SSD. I don't really have a set budget, but I rather want to upgrade but get some value for my money right.

Only other reason would be that I would love to drop to mITX size, but current set-up is mATX

Thanks!  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

If you only have a 1080p 60hz display there'd be no reason to get a high end card, you should upgrade your display first

 

probably something like a 1440p 144hz IPS display for pure gaming, the G-sync ones run $200 more than the free-sync ones, but the ASUS free-sync one is effectively worthless. So probably stick to free-sync and run upgrade to polaris when it drops in june ish
