Additional Comments: I already have the RAM, PSU, and Hard Drive, I'm only looking for a new CPU, mobo and graphics card. Do you think 750W power source is enough?

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Graphics card died and took the PCI-E slot on my current mobo with it figured it was a good time to upgrade these and the CPU as well.

This is what the whole package will look like, the RAM, Storage, Power Supply and Case are the ones I already own. The CPU, MOBO, and Video Card are what I'm looking to buy. Under Compatibility Notes it says something about operating voltage of the RAM exceeding the CPU. I'm not completely sure what this means, should I be concerned?

For 1080p gaming 2gb is plenty of vram, so i went with the asus. I didnt have anything to do with the psu you could run a gtx 780 on that psu tbh assuming its still working well.
