Why change at all? Your 2600k is excellent, clock that to 4.5Ghz (and beyond! Spend some money on a good water kit and then pump some volts into that sucker) and you simply don't need anything else - it's already great enough on its own. I'm still running my own P8Z68-V PRO with a 2500k and see absolutely no reason to upgrade now or for the foreseeable future. If/when XB/PS4 lousy ports start coming out that require octocore procs, I'll upgrade.

Input much appreciated  |
Put watercooling in, OC it, enjoy not having to upgrade everything. When you upgrade motherboard/cpu, get a new waterblock, you're good to go. |

Thx guys
Yeah I have it watercooled already guys lol;), but my case needs renewing badly, old Stacker ST-101 modified by myself (years ago), front ports all fucked, lookin bad etc, so if I'm gonna rip it all out, then I may as well fit a new board in my new case (giving myself an excuse, twisting arm and all lol) 
Ya know, I'm getting on now , and don't want to be doing this again, so, last ever home build, oh yes! Mean it this time 
Awesome feedback my friends!

No need to upgrade,Mah Boooy..I've got the same P8Z68-V PRO GEN3 + Intel 2500K + 8GB DDR3 1333mhz + 660GTX Ti OC 2GB and i'm very happy for it
Just like they said,whenever PS4/X1 ports comes and they need serious power,try playing them first..if they bottleneck you,then it'll be the time
But meanwhile NO

Yeah, just gonna say it again.
Do not "upgrade"
If you got an actual water cooler, custom loop stuff and not that closed loop crap then you will only lose performance because your 2600K will overclock way higher than any new crap unless you delid that new crap.

Now that we're kinda in topic..
I've got 2 8GB 1333mhz DDR3 RAM Sticks in my MoBo...using W7 64bits,would it be worth/useful to upgrade it with 2 more sticks so it goes up to 16GB?...I use Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Photoshop/Illustrator CS6 and multitasking
PS: They're Kingston sticks

Planning on grabbing myself an i5 3750K to replace my slowly dying i5-750 cpu which is starting to give me issues and wanting to do a cpu /mobo refresh anyway now that bF4 is coming around.
currently got a gtx670 which I hope should be able to handle this thing for now.
My question is what mobo should I really be aiming at to support this nice chip and gfx card setup I have.
currently running a crucial m4 SSD as well so the sata3 interface (old was only sata2) should be a bit of performance bump as well.
I've generally always gone for pretty low end mobos, not wanting to spend 200 euro or something daft on a mobo, not interested in bluetooth wireless and stuff but will be using the onboard soundcard so something you guys can recommend would be appreciated.
Typically looking at asus / gigabyte or asrock?
i5 -3570k
8GB DDR 3
Gigabyte GTX 980 Ti Gaming G1

ASUS/MSI are propably the way to go, do not touch AsRock Z77 series, the E4 has shit MOSFETs and all Z77 AsRock boards have erronous VCore reporting, it can be as much as 0.1 higher than CPU-Z is telling you.

Okay thx for the heads up. So any recommended models? Toms hardware has monthly cpu recommendations but not for motherboards.

P8Z77-V should do fine, not sure about the MSI models.

Honestly? No unless you plan on using it for RamDisk aswell, otherwise the extra RAM won't help you in any way.

looking at games like battlefield 4 and arma 3 and new gen games coming out. My i5-750 running ddr 3 (1333mhz) on a asus p7p55d - le board is starting to show its age. running a crucial m4 which is only connected on sata 2 so not spreading its legs fully anyway and a gtx 670 which i suspect isnt working at its full potential anyway.
question....
pushing across to a P8Z77-V with an i5 3570k and some 8gb of ddr3 at 1600mhz... am i likely to see a fairly bit improvement performance wise in games or you think its money wasted? think ive got the 750 running at about 4ghz and seems happy enough but still not sure if the board and cpu im using are just bottlenecking my system somehow now.
advice?
p.s I could in theory just keep the 1333 ddr3 8gb i have no if you guys dont think its going to make much noticable difference in the new setup?
