Hello all!
I'm planning on doing some upgrades to my computer/set up, and wanted some advice as to what you would upgrade first :)

 

Again, just to make sure it's clear, I own everything on the list below.

 

I have about 500 USD to play with (If it's a good upgrade, I can also save a bit)

 

 

If you where me, and had the money I have to spend, what would you upgrade?   -Note- I have an H100 that I need to RMA, and get figured out, if that works, then that would be my cooling.

You could either SLI that 780 or go to the Intel side by getting a MSI MPower and a Intel i7-4770K.

 

On another note, dam thats one nice rig.

for productivity reasons.
