cpu for 990L Intel Gen2 Sandy Bridge Core i3, i5, i7

so upgrade cpu to i7-2600 or Xeon equivalent (Xeon E31270) for sandy bridge.  i5-2500 too small increment change and -k cpu can not be overclocked in opti so not better than non-k cpu.

gpu up to 1070 depending on resolution you play at.  you may also look at user benchmark for this model and see what others are using.
