I was deciding the same thing and have decided to save for Watercooling now, then get a Z68 PCI-E 3.0 mobo which I can use my 2500k in until Ivy bridge comes out then sell my 2500K and get an Ivy CPU, then buy an AMD 7xxx or Nvidia 6xxx series GPU when they come out at the end of this year or early next and stick it all in a CM Cosmos 2.

So you say spend?

If you have the money now then i'd buy your watercooling stuff now then save for Ivy bridge and a next gen GPU.
Ivy bridge isn't out until around September and next gen GPUs aren't out until between October and January/February next year. Also to run a next gen GPU properly you will need a PCI-E 3.0 motherboard which are due in the next couple of months.
So if you have the money for watercooling now I would spend now and then save for Ivy and a next gen GPU seen as there is a few months wait till they are out.
That is what I would do anyway but it's up to you how you want to do it and I supose it depends on how fast you can save the money for other stuf as well.

I say save. you have a good system that will last until you can buy the next gen stuff. Then BAM! good things will will happen.
I know! especially my cpu which has got good volts for what it's at! thanks, much appreciated!
