Motherboard-I can't really decide on a motherboard...looking to overclock once I figure it out so need a z97 board between 100-150 dollars that is good for ocing and has the most features.

GPU-Is the 780 really worth the atleast 180 dollars plus compared to the superclocked acx 770...if so which series of the 780 should I get?

Is there anything you guys think I should change on my build...open to any recommendations considering this is my first build. Thanks

Get an R9 290 or R9 290X instead of an Gtx 780 the price/quality is way better on those cards. That would be my only suggestion.

No , all looks fine, and yes, the 780 is at least 20-30% better I think, I think the lightning 780, the platinum 780 and also inno3d does this cool kickass looking one also, check that out :D  I'd recommend you to not get the r9 290 unless it's a aftermarket one with a different cooling system as the r9 290 is known to overheat

haha yes of course I don't even want to talk about the stock ones, they are just downright horrible you even need a cooler mod to get the normal performance out of those things. BUT the aftermarket ones are fine and they don't require modifications.
