Board/CPU/GPU

[idknox]

Hi All, my current system, here, is pretty old. I'm looking to upgrade and wanted to get some feedback on what I'm going with. Thanks for any help.

Unless listed below I will be using my current components.

CPU: i5-3570K
Board: ASRock Z77 Extreme4
GPU: GeForce GTX 660 Ti Superclocked
Memory:G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB)
SSD: Intel 330 180GB SSD

All links are for info, not price. From everything I've read this should be solid. Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

looks solid to me.

u need any other parts?

 

[idknox]

I figured I'd be fine using my current cpu cooler and psu, the latter which I RMA'd year before last so it should be good to go, assuming it's powerful enough.

CPU Cooler: Thermaltake CL-P0114 120mm Big Typhoon

PSU: OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI 700W

[idknox]

My budget is somewhat flexible but I'd like to keep it in the $800 range. The parts I need/want are in the original post above. Thanks for the replies, I appreciate it.

[idknox]
