recommend Me new mobo+cpu+gpu
I think pretty much what came of Trog's thread the other week was:
Asrock Z77-EXTREME4 Z77 - $139 Intel Core i5 3570 - $209 or Intel Core i7 3770 - $299 Galaxy GeForce GTX 660 GC 2GB - $249 With the video card, I'd go with the EVGA just because all the other GTX 660's look fugly to me with the two giant fans. |

What's wrong with your current i7? It's not a c2quad so it's doing ok?

Yeah, benchmarks of a 580 on a dualcore, quadcore, and an OC'd high end Quadcore for BF3 when it was released showed nearly no change to FPS. Literally 1-2 fps between them (and not necessarily the faster was the better).
I'd guess you've got plenty of grunt. In fact it's really only old games with 1 thread which won't perform as well, if they were cpu limited. Modern games with more than 2 threads will run fine. |

imo don't go the reference design with the single fan at the end. they're a bastard to keep dust out of and the heatsink channels where the supposedly cool air is meant to go get clogged too.
i never could understand out why people give a s*** about the guts of their PC looking good... |
