Like yours best, you get a slow clap from me.  :)  But I really would need an SSD, if you can put in the cheapest one you can find, regardless of speed, as long as it's 120GB minimum, that'd be great.

Please look at mine. Please.

Why only 4GB? If it's to save costs, I might be able to find a cheaper (abeit slower) 8GB kit.

NOTE: I'm looking for the highest FPS without sacrificing quality, gaming at 1080p and 1440p. No more than that.

What games you play?

Haha nooo, I meant your version is basically the other guy's but with half the ram, since he has 16gb and you 8gb, yet you got an OS and an SSD in there.

Well, I'm not an overclocker, but I heard that better mobo's can increase your overclock and stuff.

I can pick them up at my local microcenter for that price. I should've changed it to all online though.

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ

Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

I don't know... Between possibly having a good chip (up to 3.2GHz, my ass), and the nForce 630a apparently being a good overclocker, I was almost able to gain a whole 1GHz on my Sempron before I hit the 95 watt max of the mobo.

Don't know if that was supposed to be a different list, but it's not. :)

 

EDIT: Nevermind. Drop the Dominator down to Vengeance, and take that mobo up to  a good Gigabyte UD3H? I think, or a SABERTOOTH 990FX.
