Currently looking for something to upgrade, a 144Hz monitor is in my sights but i'm also thinking something along the lines of a new GPU? Shall i get a 780/780ti or just wait for the 800 Series to surface?

It looks nice, but I agree, why a 770? a 780 isn't THAT much more, and so much better. Especially with an i7. I would have done an i5 and a GTX 780.

That's a pretty good looking build. I think the red LEDs in the case go better because of your motherboard and the fans have red LEDs. Your cable runs are clean, but the extra 6 pin plugs throw off the aesthetic a little. You could consider usng extensions to make them more neat, but the rest of the cables are nice and clean. Overall its a good build, well done :D

Why must everyone have a better looking air 540 build than me? WHY?!

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

You mean a 760.

 

When i purchased my 760 it was heaven come true, i hardly had enough for that after some financial issues.. if i had enough to buy a 780 back then i would of in a heartbeat, but now i will not waste money for a miniature graphical improvement, maybe when the 800 series surfaces i will.

What? im not sure if you're asking why i have 16GB of RAM or why i brought Dominator Platinum?..
 
Dominator Platinums are the sexiest ram sticks in my opinion, so i brought them... it's for the eyecandy and it seems to have worked on you :)
