The only reason the 970X is more is because it came out as a $1000 CPU. When the 2700K came out, it was never branded as a $1000 CPU, even though it was faster than $1000 CPUs.

Sandy Bridge has essentially made everything else obsolete.

And BTW, nothing - absolutely nothing - will make your PC seem faster than upgrading the hard drive to SSD. You could put the fastest CPU and Ram in there, but a mechanical hard drive will always hold it back.
