-If the 660 ti wasn't on sale i'd say go for a 760 but that's a good price.

-The power supply isn't the best. From what I've read Raidmax isn't a good brand for power supplies. If you're looking for something cheap i'd suggest the corsair cx series or just consult this list: http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

-Lastly, if you're overclocking keep in mind that that board only has 4 power phases which isn't ideal.
