Alright, so I have a little bit extra cash to throw around and I have my eyes on a GTX 780 ti to add to my watercooling loop. I figure I can sell the 680s and it won't be that big of a hit when all is said and done. ORRRRRR I want the black edition Rampage IV x79 with the 4930k. So my question is, which do you think would be the best value/upgrade?

I don't really like either option. One 780 Ti won't give enough of a performance benefit over two 680s, and I don't like how the RIVE Black Edition looks (but that's just me).

 

Maybe invest in a better monitor? Headphones? Peripherals? A (current) parts list would be great.

I say new 4930K and rampage black. Although Intel's Haswell-E & Nvidia 800series will obviously kick off during probably late Q1 to around early Q3 at best. You gpu configuration is pretty darn solid

780 Ti e-ping not worth it unless you were going SLI but still :(
