Why do you want to upgrade? If anything the GPU is getting "old".

This.
Your CPU is ballin' and will likely last another few years
Better to spend that monies on an equally lovable GPU.

Tatty_Two · Feb 25, 2014

Trying not to state the obvious, but if your "upgrading" would you not want to at least go Haswell?

FireFox · Feb 25, 2014

there is not too much difference in the performance between Hasswell and Ivy bridge
haswell had less overclocking ability

Haswell averages 10+% faster .... but Ivy overclocks about 6% more.

GPU will be upgrade after i decide if i upgrade or not

lilhasselhoffer · Feb 25, 2014

You've got a problem here. The CPU you're using now only is bested by having an unlocked one. In my opinion, not worth spending more money on. If the upgrade itch has hit you this hard you're already doomed to spend too much money.

The only way I'd change the rig in your signature is with a new GPU. The 580 is nice, but the 7xx series is nicer. You might actually see some improvement with a GPU upgrade.

i want to upgrade also because i want a fresh motherboard i owner a asus p8p67 and i think its time to move on

FireFox · Feb 25, 2014

my plan is to upgrade motherboard, GPU and CPU, and as i said if i keep the 1155 than i would like this

MAXIMUS V FORMULA or SABERTOOTH Z77
intel i7 3770k

but nor sure which one between
MAXIMUS V FORMULA or SABERTOOTH Z77

p.s
i am ready to spend 1.500 euro or more if i have to :respect:

Just buy a decent Z77 MoBo then?

Sabertooth gets my vote, though I recommend Haswell Z87 over Ivy Z77 if you're even going to bother spending money.

Jetster · Feb 25, 2014

Yea just find a descent Z77 and keep the 3770K . You will gain some advantages but not ground breaking

FireFox · Feb 25, 2014

Z87-DELUXE?

FireFox · Feb 25, 2014

what would do recommend

adulaamin · Feb 25, 2014

I'd upgrade the GPU first then wait for Haswell refresh.

If your goal is gaming, I agree with these two shenanigans. I doubt you need to over clock your CPU to get decent performance and even with a non-k CPU, don't you get a couple bins on the turbo to at least get you something like 4 or 4.2Ghz? I'm also pretty sure you can tell modern ASUS boards to run turbo on all cores, which could help itself too.

Either way, I think there is enough you can do to get away with waiting a little while before choosing to ditch your CPU/Mobo.

if you do upgrade to the 1150, sell me your 3770k for cheap, eh?

Devon68 · Feb 25, 2014

Maybe go for the 1155 and 3770k since on the 3770k the voltage regulator is not on the CPU die and the chip cooler and can be overclocked better than the 4770k.

brandonwh64 · Feb 25, 2014

There is no point in getting a new board with a NON k chip if the current board works fine.

arskatb · Feb 25, 2014

sandy is better for oc then ivy, need good cooling system when oc ivy over 4,7, haswell can go 4,5 with good cooling system,
ivy and haswell both has same problem and those are; bad contact between processor and heat spreader, second; thermal compound is of poor quality
