But definately:

2600k
GTX 580
8Gb DDR3
P67 Mobo
Enermax 620W (existing)

What Ram exactly is it btw?
May I also ask if you are happy with the H70 and what you changed to get the cpu that high and what the temps are?

- ditch/replace the following:

• 2600k for 2500k (money saved, HT is darn right useless for games)
• H70 for Noctua NH-D14 (H70 isn't even a proper water cooler and fans it comes with are shockingly bad/loud)
  - be ware which RAM you're purchasing with NH-D14, I'd recommend something from Mushkin (low heat sinks and they walk over Corsair's RAM)
• get and SSD - no FPS gain, but maps and textures will load faster, overall PC will run faster (not useful for FPS shooters, but useful for simulations)

Only for video editing and software than can utilize more than 4 cores. So, if you belong to that category... For games, not worth it. Money wasted.
