The biggest performance upgrade is going to be the two extra cores in the top-end chip, but there's only speculation on how much they'll cost. RAM and SATA aren't bottlenecks when it comes to multiboxing and DDR4 is going to need time to mature before it actually brings any real performance to the table.

It's going to be interesting to see what Haswell-E brings, but I think Broadwell-E might even be more exciting because things will have had time to mature.

Unfortunately, the next set of 6GB GPUs will still be Titans and they'll still be priced at $1,000 -- The GTX Titan Black is a 780 Ti with 6GB of VRAM. So, you'll be paying $300 on top of the price of the GTX 780 Ti for three extra gigabytes of VRAM.

I was apprehensive to upgrade to newer GPUs without getting an increase in VRAM, but I now know that the GPUs themselves still aren't powerful enough to handle everything I want to throw at them while 5-boxing, so I'm left with splitting the load between them and still have access to 6GB (even 9GB if I wanted it). I would estimate that my setup would use about 3.5GB - 4GB of VRAM running DX11 if it could, but more VRAM isn't going to fix the fact that the GPUs would still be sitting at 90% load.
