Hey guys, its been about 2 years since the last time I upgraded my CPU and MOBO. And I feel as if it is still to do another minor upgrade for some better performance, but I may not need to. Just looking for advice from you all. I use my computer mostly for gaming. Here are my current stats

CPU: I5 750
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD3
PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-650TX 650W
Ram: 4x G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB(yeah i know maybe too much ram)
Heatsink: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus
GFX Card: Nvida GTX570

I was thinking of going to a i5 2500k or maybe even a i7-2600k. What do you all think?

Wait and upgrade to an IB setup. It will be worth the CPU + mobo upgrade then.

Though what exactly are you doing with this PC?
 
As Danny said, wait for IB to come out. No need to upgrade that 750 to SB. Not worth the performance boost IMHO. IB should be a different story.
 
Late April/Early May.

Rumors puts the release at April 29th but it is a rumor.
