Do this for sure. Same price, better everything.

Better CPU, HDD, case, PSU.

I would go with the 650 ti but later down the line I was going to upgrade to 7770 crossfire and 650 ti does not have SLI support :p (Also do I really need gold certified PSU?)

You cannot corssfire on that board. The second card will only run at 4x which will give no performance increase. Also, that board has no MOSFET cooler and has been shown alot of times to overheat. DO NOT get it.

Also, the cx500 is WAY worse than the antc vp-450 because the cx line from corsair uses inferior capacitors an should be avoided.
