That system is by no means considered cheap though :D a 4670k and a GTX 780 is high end no matter how good the deals and final price :P

Get a better case perhaps the NZXT H440.  And a power supply that isnt by antec.  The EVGA NEX 750G is the way to go IMHO

Grab a Corsair 650D Case and maybe a Corsair H100i or H80i cooler. What I would do is get a new mITX motherboard and a Corsair 250D or Bitfenix Prodigy (or any mitx case along those lines). Also with remaining money I would go get an SSD if you don't already have one. Cheap deals around. If you really really care about aesthetics do what CJ said and sell off your PSU and grab a sexy one by Corsair or any other brand that isn't Antec. Buy some black sata cables to match for ultimate sex appeal. Also put those ugly fans onto a hat and use them to cool yourself and get a couple Corsair AF series fans.

It probably is pretty good but imo the liquid coolers are much nicer. If you have no quarrel with it by all means keep it. And yeah I probably wouldn't grab a new mobo if you like ATX. I just have been using a large computer for quite a while and would like to have something more portable. Just telling you what I would do :)

Bad idea Tristan lol HAI on Skype.

Yea that motherboard is super good just new case and PSU and you're good.  If you like fast loading times grab an SSD. The V8 GTS is also pretty good.  It's got worth it to upgrade

I'm fine with the v8, it has clearance for high profile memory and keeps it cool so idc, it looks good too.

That's good, and also make sure you get a PSU with less wattage than 900. 600 should be good enough. You can probably make some money back too selling your old stuff.
