He included an SSD which you said don't need. The r9 he put in also is not a recommended GPU.

As far as is it worth it to get the Overclockable version. I would say it is always worth it considering how easy it is to overclock. Overclocking a small amount is literally opening up bios and changing a number. Then you exit bios and its all set.

Whoops I was wrong actually :p It is recommended. Most people just stick with the 770 though. To answer your question I was going off of this: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107.html

The Extreme 4 is better in terms of features. Not to sure about actual design. The Extreme 4 has more PCI-e slots and Sata slots as well as an E-Sata slot which the Pro4 does not have at all.

The pro 4 would be the board to go with. The only real reason to go with the extreme 4 is to make an extreme rig. In general you will only use 1 maybe 2 PCI-e slots and the extra sata slots while nice you probably will never use. so you are paying for features you would not use. The only feature the Extreme 4 has that the pro 4 does not that may make a difference is Purity Sound. I am not to sure what that is or if it even works so.
