Just wanted to get some feedback on my new build. I have everything but the CPU, expecting that Thursday from Amazon. This system will be replacing my nearly 6 year old Nehalem i7 920 @ 3.8ghz. I plan to replace the video card once the 800 series is out and get a decent 1440p monitor to replace one of my three 24in 1080p monitors. I don't expect to notice a huge jump in performance but it will be nice to have a little more future proof machine. I'll see what kind of luck I have overclocking, I'd like to hit 4.8 if I can get it stable.

I already have the 780. I originally bought a 770 to replace my two 560ti SLI but wanted a little more so I sent it back and went with the 780. I don't really have a budget but I didn't want to go for a 780 TI if I plan to replace it anyway.
