Hi all,

I am thinking about selling most of my computerparts while they are still worth something, and in turn purchase some new things and bring it up to date.

My current stup is as follows:
Asus p6x58D-E
Intel i7 950
12gb (6x2gb) G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
EVGA Supercloked GTX570 in SLI
Kingston Hyperx 3k 2x120GB SSD in Raid0

The system does run quite well but obviously the mobo is becoming relatively old and its limiting my upgrade option, so I was thinking to sell the above and get the newer generation parts.

I am leaning towards x79. What would you guys recommend for mobo, video card, and memory? Or should I just completely stay away from upgrading and just wait? I havent upgraded in a while and I havent been following current trends. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks guys!

I don't really see how the P6X58D-E is limiting you. It has SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.0. About the only thing that it's missing that a newer mobo would have is PCIe Gen3. Gen3 is completely irrelevant right now and probably won't matter for another 3 years or so.

I agree with mfenn.
 
If you currently don't feel majorly obstructed while you are computing, I would suggest you wait until Haswell since it will be a major architectural change from Sandy and Ivy Bridge. That would mean a bigger performance gain.
