A few hard drives, some broken
My old gaming rig (ON EBAY ATM, CANNOT USE PARTS)
Screwdrivers and such.


Some more details -
My budget is about £1000, you can push me to about £1100 if it was really worth it.
My SSD was really ONLY for the operating system, nothing else
I was thinking of getting a HD 7990 instead, I can get one for much cheaper then the GTX 780Ti (£400ish)

Thanks!

this is just my 2cents but your gtx 780ti is a reference cooler model. If I were you I would consider getting a third party cooler like the DirectCU II from Asus or gigabytes windforce or if you like evga the Superclocked ACX would be perfect a little pricy but worth it. Depending on your budget.
Forgot to mention what is your budget? a better cpu might be in order as well. I think that it would bottleneck your gtx 780 ti.

I add other list for you, add up the case the 16GB Thumb Drive you post, I think the price will be almost same, but you get the fx8320, plus the better xfx PSU, and the 120GB SSD too, because the 40GB one is only good for the intel srt ssd cache but you have the AMD MB. You need at least 80-120 GB for the OS.

The GTX 780 would definitely be better so I would recommend it over the HD 7990.
