I'm going to preface this straight off:
I understand I posted this but I inadvertently set the thread to "solved" so I'd like to take a shot again at getting some input. If this breaks any rules I wholeheartedly apologize.

What do you guys think? I decided that getting SLI was a waste as I wouldn't end up buying the second card before the computer was obsolete. Plus I wouldn't use more than 2 1920X1080 screens at a time, so I believe that a tricked out 770GTX should be able to handle almost everything I throw at it. My only uncertainty is if the PSU is Powerful enough/compatiable with my Motherboard and GPU. Also if the Motherboard is "Good" for OC or even general use. My current Gigabyte hasn't let me down and the Amazon reviews were almost all positive, however newegg painted a much more bleak picture.
Getting these parts by Saturday or friday night is essential, I want to play with this during my spring break.
I do have about $60 left in my budget, so if something isn't up to spec just keep that in mind if you feel inclined to suggest it.
