So I've settled on my overclocks for the new components:
i5 4670k @ 4.3ghz (1.191vcore) - temps never go above 60 at load
Corsair Vengeance Pro Black 2x4GB DDR31866 @ DDR3-2200Mhz
GTX570 OC-ed the Core clock from 750 mhz -> 820mhz at same voltage. Temps never go above 60 as well so far.

Sounds good. Have you done any benchmarks for results? I am thinking about overclocking my 670 for the hell of it. I've read some good frame increases with this card.
You really should get a new GPU. If you're up to AMD stuff, I've seen R9 290's going on ebay for like 230 dollars used which is absolutely a steal. Since crypto mining is no longer profitable,all the miners are selling their AMD cards for practically nothing.
Not yet, but I've already doubled my FPS in SC2 just by upgrading these components so I'm happy. What benchmarks are good?
For sure upgrade your 670. I usually like to see how high I can go with stock voltage but you may like upping it to see how hard you can push it.

The 670 is still a beast.
Ok master race...I need some advice. I just bought a Geforce 760 2GB as an upgrade to my 560ti. I could have gotten a Radeon 270X 4GB for a similar price. Did I pick the right card? I haven't opened the box yet.
I wanted the 770. But I cheaped out. Plus I would have needed a new PSU.
I think this card should last me a year or so for my purposes.
You picked a good card.
What CPU are you running with?
My CPU fan is messing up and most of the time my PC sounds like a classic muscle car. I NEED to upgrade my cpu/mobo. I'm assuming i have to reinstall windows once i do, right?
I've also been searching for more info on the next gen Intel cpu's but so far i got nothing. Anybody can just give me an idea of when they'll be releasing?
Yea the 760 is pretty nice; if you can get a cheap 4GB variant you're golden for a while.A 760 is roughly equivalent to a 670, it's a great value Nvidia card.
Can't wait till Nvidia's 8 series drops, I'll probably grab a 870GTX and make my 770GTX a phsyx card; much like I did with my 670GTX when I got the 770GTX.

I wish I could have gotten the 4GB. Do you think the 2GB 760 is still a better card than the 4GB 270x?
Btw I just played Skyrim with Sharpshooter mod. Holy hell. So nice.
They are both similar in performance anyway, but with newer games the extra Vram may prove the better.
Damn. That's what I was afraid of. I should have went with my instinct. And better research.
Either way, I'm happy for now. I doubt I play anything over 1080P.

Speaking of which....do we know yet when these cards are coming??
Weren't they supposed to have launched already.
