Looking into upgrading my aging pc
current specs:
Gigabyte GA-EP45 UD3P
OCZ DDR2-800 4GB (3x1GB)
Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 2.66ghz (OC'd @ 3.80ghz / 1.295v)
Cooler Master v8
HIS Radeon HD 4870 512MB
Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB SSD
Zumax X3 550w
Western Digital Caviar Blue 7200RPM 500GB SATA
Only currently looking into upgrade the cpu/ram/mobo for now
I already have a new motherboard (Gigabyte X99-UD3P) so my upgrade choices are on the limited side:
cpu - Intel Core i7 5820k
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117402&cm_re=5820k-_-19-117-402-_-Product
ram - Corsair Ballistix Sport 8GB (2x4GB)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148864&cm_re=ddr4-_-20-148-864-_-Product
Once ddr4 ram gets a bit cheaper I will buy another 8GB kit
misc - hsf bracket to mount the cmv8 to the 2011 skt

Does intel have any plans to release new 2011 cpu's since the 5820k is a year and a half old now?
Eventually I will upgrade the psu to 750w to accommodate a new video card like the r9 390, but for now the psu should suffice fine as long as I dont overclock.
Pretty much everything else can be reused such as case, hdd, optical drives, vid card, mem card reader bay and so forth.
