2500k @ 4.6 ghz for a few years now. Been thinking about upgrading when I get the chance but it seems like it's still not even worth doing.
Same here, my 2500k keeps going great after years. There's no reason to upgrade just for performance, both Ivy and Haswell seem to only be focused on saving more energy... Sandy is savvy enough for my desktop. No rush on my part! Hopefully AMD will figure their s**t out by 2016 with their new architecture and force Intel to wake up, let's pray it's like the Athlon 64 days all over again!
Skylake may bring some extra cooling headroom especially if Intel has solved the heat problem that first appeared on IB. A 65W i5 hex core would go down a treat.
then get a 4790k (might as well go with the K even if not Oc'ing because of the turbo boost to 4.4ghz) or even a used 4770/3770 both of which provide lanes of pci-e 3.0
then again, at least with current gpu's, Anand did some testing and the performance increase from pcie 2.0 to 3.0 was neglible at best 1 - 3 or so percent.
Haswell-e is tempting me.
I think that 5930,could be a good upgrade to my 2600 sandy bridge.
Who will switch from sandy to haswell-e?
it seems that all the "sandybridges" people leaved the thread.
It shows that none so far will be upgrading to Haswell-E, its harder to get the opposing response unless you ask the opposite question.it seems that all the "sandybridges" people leaved the thread.

A poll might have been better.
I'm not upgrading.
It gets trickier with SLI, but there might be so little difference still.
If you are worried it might be a waste of money, give it a go with your P67 and SB.
I'd surely take that route and compare gaming fps with others who are on working PCI-E 3.0 SLI systems with fast next gen cards.
I anticipate it will give a good result with 2 fast next gen cards, but without hard fact, its not that helpful.
I havent seen complaints that SB and P67 is slow for current dual fast GPU setups, so not much of a guide against.
Its a wait and see.
Just upgraded to GTX 980 on my sig rig and am debating a CPU/mobo upgrade. I don't think my GPU will be bottlenecked. Getting a lot of time out of this rig. Suggestions?
I've recently considered finally overclocking my 2600k to coincide with an upgrade to potentially SLI 970s.
I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. What is it that holds it back?
As it stands right now I don't really want to consider a full upgrade, but my gpu has started to show it's age recently on newer games.
Thanks, I originally bought a nice heatsink, but everything I was playing the CPU was fine for so I just held off on OCing.
