My 4 yo build :

MOM : Asus Sabertooth X58
CPU : i7 950 3.1GHz
CG : Sapphire Radeon HD7970 6GB
RAM : 4GB, Geil
42" + 22" LG, and sometime I plug the Optoma projector because shooting man sized zombies never gets old.


I'd like to upgrade to the following and I'd like an advice or two from you guys

MOM : Sabertooth Z97 Mk 2
CPU : Intel i7 4790K
CG : Sapphire R9 290X Vapor X
RAM : GSkill Ripjaw X 2x8Go

EDIT : And a Crucial M4 SSD 256Go dedicated to Steam ^^ I plan to upgrading it to a 500Go.

I personally wouldn't upgrade from a 7970 6GB to a 290X because I want at least 50% more performance to justify the purchase.

Buy the 16GB of RAM at first (4GB seems pretty low) for your old system, the new one uses DDR3, too. That's maybe enough until the next generation of graphics cards releases.
