planning to upgrade as my pc working 24/7 and most of time uses WCG client
last 2-3 years i played games very often and now it's only ~10 hours a week, everyday lesser, next 2-3 months i'll be studying and wont have any time to play(also i think i wont play as much as i played anymore, priorities have changed)
also using svp for movies, so i need at least SB i5/280x(got bad expirience when i had 550ti+2310 stock clocks- there were lags sometimes)
so will it worth or better build a tiny crunching rig for this purpose?

3770 no K will work pretty well,
3770K overclocked will drain power as a hungry bitch... working at 5.0 GHZ.....

Throw a stock clocked ivy bridge i7 in the current rig, then demote it to crunching when you get a full new rig down the road. You could even go second hand on the CPU...
