I'm planning to upgrade my rig [sig] but dunno what should I upgrade next.
I'm going to to high , moving up to z77 chipset or x79, just wanna stay on z68 and upgrade my components.

(I'll always love to go to SLI, make my PSU fully modular, have a case that is cable management friendly but not to big, go 16gb of RAM, have a best Case Airflow, go RAID with HDD or SSD)

But i can't make it in just one instant upgrade[don't ahve much that money :p] so I'm upgrading my rig one at a time. My last upgrade was getting a SSD for my OS and now I'm planning to upgrade another component(s).
So what do you think guys would by my best upgrade?
BTW, I Vid Editor/ motion GFX, so rendering, encoding is always a task. (just to give an idea)

Thanks in advance :D
 
not sure things have changed but on a regualy intel based board sli wont get approved. pretty sure you going to have to get a special board if they are out there that is sli approved. i dont see anything in your rig in your sig that says, i need to be upgraded. maybe if you want a better GPU sell the 560 and get one of the 680's.
 
I say SSD first. Probably better to sell that card and get a GTX670 or similar if you want to upgrade rather than SLI as a secondary upgrade.
 
Thnks! So if I add another SSD, what would be my best pick? go for another 128 vertex 4 and RAID them or just get any kind of ssd? I think I can only gor for 120 to 128gb SSD. Can't afford bigger GB of SSD right now.
 
you can get a mushkin 120 GB sata 3 for like $90 right now on newegg and there just as fast as any out right now.
