you should really update your build specs in the rigbuilder.

would need to know what power supply you have to tell you whether it will work.

it would be a HUGE jump in performance, thats for sure.

It's definitely worth it. A single GTX-670 is faster than two stock 560ti's in SLi. And one 560ti is hell more faster than two GTS-250's in SLi. Now you can try and imagine the performance increase that you'd be getting.

In the case of getting a casing, you can try getting a NZXT switch 810. Superb case in my opinion. As for the memory, any higher speed than 1333mhz wouldn't make much of a difference as you're using a sandy CPU. The most you can do is increase the memory size if you wanted too. 8GB is more than enough for a gaming rig, any higher barely gets utilised expect for rendering.

OP your CPU is very good. 8GB DDDR 1333 Mhz is enough.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139075

Officially core i7 2600 suports only upto DDR3 1333 Mhz speeds.
