For the level of multitasking you've mentioned, 6 cores and more RAM will definitely be beneficial to performance. That being said, I'd recommend waiting for Ivy-E and the X99 motherboards to be released. Those CPUs will definitely show...

If you really want that good of an overclock, wait for Haswell. They should be able to hit that target easily according to rumors. If you want to upgrade to LGA 2011 socket, then wait for Ivy-E to launch. They are probably supposed to...
So your target is 60+ FPS in games without maxing AA at a resolution of 1080p. For that, I'd recommend getting a single 780 after returning the 680. Here's why: - You get more VRAM (3GB vs 2GB) - No hassle with two GPUs - No need to...

I'll be honest and just state my opinion. Getting 7990 Quadfire right now is a bad idea. Here's why : - Bad scaling from four GPUs - Limited VRAM of 3GB for a 6-screen setup - High chance of hitting VRAM wall with 3GB cards, especially...
Switching to 3570K from an 8150 will require changing the motherboard. So I dont see any reason why you shouldnt get Haswell instead of Ivy Bridge. Unless price is an issue. You can also upgrade to an 8350 and avoid buying a new...

While 660 SLI has a very good price/performance ratio, it only has an effective VRAM of 2GB. Although its fine for todays games, the situation may very well change after ~7 months when the new consoles launch. I'm pointing this out to...
