It is pushing it to get 4GB for a 1080P display. But if you like gobs of anti-aliasing and maxed out eye candy and can afford it. Go for it.

What's your monitor size? A single GTX 770 isn't powerful enough to use that 4GB of RAM. You would need to SLI two GTX 770's before you can use the extra RAM. Also, a 1920X1080 display really doesn't need a full 4GB RAM. But a triple display or one of the large 2560X1440/1600's can use the RAM.

Other than that, all else looks good.

You may want to consider a GTX 760 for only $250 and later SLI it with another for far greater performance than a single GTX 770. But it is a total of $500 vs $400 for the GTX 770.

For HDD's I always go with Western Digital. I have had nothing but perfect performance with them. Get a black or blue one.

well im pretty set on 770 but does 760sli has better performance than 770 sli and when i sli does the gpu memory combine like if its two 4 card will it be +8 or does it stays 4 but gains the ability to use all of it and should i get 4gb or 2 if im gonna sli and i plan to sli it prob next year so prices on 770 will drop i guess and does this version of 770 supports sli or does it need to say sli on it
