swap the ssd with a samsung or crucial. You can also swap the ram with gskill ripjaws red to match your theme. Other than that, it's all good :D

If u r gaming on a 1080p monitor the gtx 770 is absolutely fine.

Going for above 1080p get a titan black.

Why on earth would you need a titan black for anything over 1080p?! Titan blacks are around 1,099. Just get 2x r9 290 in crossfire for 300 dollars cheaper with more performance. Hell just grab a gtx 780 ti
