thanks, the video card is indeed a step up from my choice. the cooler choice i dont really understand, is it that much better then mine? and can i overclock with it better?

 

edit: did some research, much better choice, thank you very much.

looks like ima going to go with this (and replace it in my old/original build): 

 

Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 Video Card  ($549.99 @ NCIX US) 

Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case  ($57.99 @ Micro Center) 

Motherboard: ASRock Z97 Extreme3 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($104.99 @ Newegg)

Storage: Crucial MX100 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($104.99 @ SuperBiiz) 

Power Supply: EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($94.99 @ Newegg) 

 

i might go with the other (Motherboard: MSI Z97-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($119.99 @ Micro Center)) motherboard though.. and your Ram.. hmm choices..

Yes the cpu cooler will allow a reasonable overclock.

 

A Z97 motherboard is much more suitable for overclocking. They are designed to do so and tend to have better power regulation and distribution.

 

If budget is an issue you can comfortably go with 2x4GB of memory.

 

Decent build. Although I would select a better psu. Probably something like SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze or Antec HCG-620M.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
