old i7 advice

[Vividus]

Hi There,

Below is my personal computer. I am thinking to do more serious personal projects or perhaps freelance in my spare time but I do not have a new computer so my idea is to update my old computer a bit so I can get a few more months or years before a buy a completely new pc so I would really like to heard what you guys think

My current pc:

Fractal Design Silent ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Asus P6x58D-E
Ram mushkin mb p6x58d-e 24gb 6 dimm max
24.0GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz (9-9-9-24)
CORSAIR Hydro Series H50
Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.07GHz overclocked to 4.0
Corsair cmpsu-750tx 750w power supply
232GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB (SSD)
1T Western Digital WDC WD1002FAEX-00Z3A0 (SATA)

Few things to notice:

I work for arch viz so stills are priority but animation is required sometimes
I only have one gtx 680 4gb now
when I render cpu it gets to 80 degrees and i am not sure if it is good
I am planing on using vray next but I am still on 3.6 so it will happen once i know what i am doing with my pc

Thanks in advance for helping m eout here )

I am happy to answer any questions

Thanks
