I'm aware of the bottleneck. Thanks for the reply

Currently I'm running on an old 550W OCZ550FTY power supply. Should I get a new power supply or is the OCZ550FTY good enough for the GTX 1060? My Specs: MOBO: MSI P55-GD65 CPU: i5 750 @ 3.8 Ghz RAM: 8GB (4 sticks) GPU: GTX 460 Storage: 1 SSD, and 1 HDD

The case, because it looks awesome!

I have to disagree with this statement "you choose a power supply that's a good 300W higher than you need?" if I went with 550W the PSU would run @ 80% load which gives me no headroom whatsoever where you should always aim for 65% because most PSUs perform best at this load. Also do not forget about electrolytic capacitor aging. I looked into G2 and it's a good PSU but why would I want to get a cheaper PSU where I am not over the budget, and the SeaSonic is a superior PSU with Platinum rating.

Sabertooth is ugly, and Hero is only like $20 more expensive than Ranger.

I am not a fan of CrossFire / SLI because I never saw enough of a performance gain to justify the added power draw and heat output. So that is why I prefer to wait and get a single newer and slightly better in performance GPU than two older ones. I already decided to go with NVIDIA because of G-SYNC and ShadowPlay which in my mind is a better product than Game DVR from AMD. I don't mind the wait, and I am not going to buy anything until the GPU will be available on sale which from what I've heard is going to be in October. Do I need Max7Hero?: No not really, what other mobo would you recommend from Asus then?

My favorite thing about the ASUS G550JK is that it was on the top of the mountain.
-
That's still too high for me, my ambient temps can go up to 32C. So I rather buy GTX that runs at 46 idling and 60 at load. Update: It's not just me having problems with the AMD cards overheating.

I will never again buy an AMD card. Had two different ones both started too overheat after two years even with good cooling and cleaning. Finally I had to RMA because I had artifacts, their inability to configure fan controller properly drives me crazy. I rather have my cool GTX
-
Good point, the ROG will cost around ~$800, and the GTX 800 series will be cheaper than the GTX 700 series which is around $700.
-
Is it worth too wait for the GTX 880, rumors say that the 880 series will be more efficient. But can entry-level 880 beat 780ti in performance by much?
