I'm really having the uprade bug for some reason and I have no clue what I should upgrade next....  Here are my specs:
i5 2500K under custom water cooling loop
eVGA 750G PSU
GTX 680 Hydro Copper
8GB GSkill Trident
128GB Crucial M4 SSD
1TB Seagate HDD 7200RPM
Corsair C70 Vengeance
Asus Maximus V Gene
 
I don't really want to upgrade the MOBO, CPU, or RAM as I am very happy with those so far...  What would you guys do?

    Since your not going to upgrade the CPU, Mobo, Ram, or Monitor, there's not really much left is there? Video card is about the only thing left that you haven't excluded. Unless you want a higher wattage PSU.      ;)

    Well I'm contemplating a 780 or 780ti....  Why do there have to be so many options!!!  Why!!!!!  I think what I'll do is add another SSD and a backup HDD to back up my work documents...  :)

    I thought you were attached to that GTX 680 since you just got it... If I were to purchase a new card all together, i'd get a GTX 780.

    I'd get a GTX 780 Ti.  I'm never using SLI again.

    If you can swing the extra cost, a GTX 780Ti for sure... Just saying a 780 since they are now under $500.

    I'm most likely keeping the 680 and adding a second one eventually also I'll add a ssd maybe that will help...
