Now I was thinking instead of getting the Sapphire Radeon HD 7950, I would look into getting a geforce 780. What is required to make sure this will run?

Fine build!! 780 could run on this!!! Maybe get a 650 watts for safety.

Drop down to a WD Blue HDD, or Seagate Barracuda and put the money back into the build in the form of a better PSU. For those parts, the Corsair CX line isn't going to be your best option. Xfx, Seasonic, OCZ, Rosewill Hive series, and other Corsair non-cx and gs models would be great.

^Yea I was thinking I would get a cheaper sdd, I actually plan on just using my 1tb harddrive in the computer I'm using right. So that's another $100 off the purchase. Also if someone could tell me, if I have an activated Windows 7 on the computer I'm using at the moment, could I use it on my new computer with the same activation code?

If that's the case, then the Blacks are a good choice.

If you have a prebuilt Pc like an HP or Compaq or such, chances are you can't reuse your Win7 key. If it's a homebuilt pc, then you should be able to.
