Hello lads , in a week im gonna upgrade my gaming rig.

My current setup is the following

Monitor 24" LG 5ms , 60hz , TN panel , 1080p.

Mobo : Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z87

CPU : Intel i7 4770K

RAM : 2x8 GB G.Skill Ripjawsx 1600hz CL9

GPU : Gigabyte gtx 760 windforce

HDD : 2x1 TB WD caviar blue

SSD : Samsung 840 EVO series 250GB

PSU : Corsair RM550

So i want to upgrade
a) monitor
b) gpu
c) psu

My thoughts right now are kinda meh cuz im not sure what is the best bang for my buck.

My main use of the pc is gaming , streaming and watching movies.

For monitors im between the Dell U2713HM and the Dell U2713H ... which one is better for my needs?

For the GPU im thinking to go balls on the wall with the Gigabyte GTX 780 ti GHZ edition. Altho is it worth it? Going against the non ghz version and against any R9 290x (especially the R9 which are ~100$ cheaper)

Last but not least the PSU. Is the XFX Pro Series XXX Edition 850W good enough for that setup?

Thanks in advance!

If you have a 4GB 760, you could get a 2nd, but if you have the 2GB 760, I wouldn't recommend it. I'm a big fan of the Sapphire Tri-X 290. You could get one now and one later for xfire.

That XFX is a great psu but it's not enough for any two high end video cards AND overclocking.
