Could do with some advice for my build.

I'm planning to upgrade my system soon

From my current machine I've got:

RAM: 8gb of ram
GPU: GTX 760
HDD: 1TB HDD
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
Motherboard: Asus M4A79XTD EVO
PSU: 500w OCZ PSU

So I'd like to upgrade. I was planning to keep my GPU, HDD and RAM and replace the Motherboard, PSU and CPU and I might get an SSD but I'm not sure if they are worth it for the price right now.

I was thinking an i7 4770k CPU and a 750w PSU, as I was going to buy another 760 at some point and SLI, unless I should upgrade my GPU to something else to SLI.

I'd prefer to keep to Nvidia purely because of Shadowplay, I know AMD is better right now for performance and money but still. Shadowplay is just what's keeping me with Nvidia right now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated I'm not very good when it comes to components.

Budget is not a problem either, I'll just have to save up for a few months to get it. I've got around £800 I can spend right now.

Unless you need the HT feature of the i7, you should get an i5-4670k instead. You can always turn HT off in UEFI setup, but you'd still be paying the price premium for the i7 CPU.

Like Gigabite said, the hyper-threading detracts from single threaded performance, so it's only useful for applications with high thread counts (generally this is something to the effect of video editing or rendering or something similar). If you are doing something in this area, go ahead and grab an i7, but if you are just gaming and recording there's no real point.

MultiGPU solutions are still very problematic, so I would only buy another 760 if you aren't satisfied with the performance of the current one (you could also just try overclocking the card).
