Hi, I'm pretty confused about how this build would last me in the long run since i'm going to college next year, and I want it to sustain me for at least 2-3 years... So far right now, my build is as follows;
CPU- 3770k
GPU- Sapphire 7950
HDD- 1TB Western Digital
Keyboard- CoolerMaster quickfireTK backlight
Mouse- Corsair vengeance gaming mouse

Custom cooling- Coolermaster hyper 212+

PSU- Raidmax blackstone 700W modular

Monitor- ASUS VE 23.6" 1920x1080 LCD

RAM- 8gb G.skill

Mobo- ASUS VE p8z77LK

Case- IN WIN GT1

Let me know if this is alright or if I should change something, it's for gaming, videos, and programming. Also, I want to keep it under $1500 is possible. Thanks!

Over rated and often rated on peak values at low temps! Basically a bottom of the barrel PSU, look at tier 5 here http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

Ok, thanks for the feedback, I ended up going with the ThermalTake toughpower 750w Gold-certified. Anything else you might think is wrong?

Is the 7950 any different from 280x?

280X is renamed 7970 GHz so 7950 is slower!

Ok, I have one more question/Answer.. I went on ahead with a 4670k and an MSI mobo for around 168(for mobo). I got a 120GB SSD; would I see any difference with the 4670k and the SSD compared to the 4770k?
