Hey I'm upgrading my outdated rigs ol' i7 920 and x58m intel express mobo to the i5 3570k/asrock extreme4 combo in a couple of days here and I realized that I had money for 1 more upgrade.
Currently im at 6 gigs ram of some old unknown brand and was considering replacing it with that shiny corsair vengange stuff( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233196&nm_mc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r&cm_mmc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r-_-Memory+) since i read that the asrock extremes are known to have memory incompatibilities. On the other hand I have a old antec 650 psu that could also use upgrading, and wasnt sure about the new range of wattage i would need for overclocking the new i5 along with my current 7970 vapor x.
Basically which piece of hardware is more of a priority to upgrade? the psu i was looking at was this rosewill:

Any suggestions for other models are appreciated as well.
