I'd say it looks good to go, maybe buy a larger SSD and get the i7 950 up to 4GHz

Still a solid rig maybe just upgrade the SSD to a 120GB or 240GB

Mkay so my cpu is ok? And what's the best 780 like from asus or stock nvidia or msi? And which ssd shoud i get? And which cpu cooler? 

Instead of asking for a gpu or cooler, tell us which games you play and what your demands are. It will be pointless if you buy a 780 when you're playing games where the latest 1000$ cpu's can't even maximize a low end card like a gtx 650.

Highly Recommend Bumping up the CPU A bit, Increasing or add another SSD. To spend your money on... A new GPPU, Defiantly. I recommend a GTX 780/780TI.

 

Hope this helps :P 

Current System- Asus Z87K Mobo, Palit GTX 780, 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1866mhz RAM, Intel I5 4670K Processor at 4.1Ghz, 600w PSU Corsair, 120GB Boot drive SSD With 1TB External Drive. Numerous 120mm case fans. Oh and meatballs. Cant forget meatballs.

780 lightning if you want to overclock and stuff, or invest in watercooling and buy a 780 with pre attached waterblock.

not the msi lightning because the ram is terrible on them.
