Any recommendations? Just trying to get some different views on it so i can perfect it. i play fps games (crisis, bioshock, cod, cysis)

Hi,
I just changed the PSU and motherboard. The Asrock Extreme 4 has better thermal design and 12 phase power design (meaning, better and more stable overclocking)
Corsair's HX units are using much better parts than EVGA and they have great reputation as a reliable brand in the PSU world.

Same performance. Bigger SSD, still good PSU for less $$, and faster RAM.

I like what you would get, with one cavat. Almost $700 for a gtx 780, that's 780ti category. I'd opt for a 780ti if I were to spend $700 on gpu

Thanks, haha, $10 more for a 780 to 780ti upgrade, wish that was available when I purchased.
