Better HDD's. That's just my opinion, but Toshiba and Seagate aren't favs of mine. Other than that, nothing really. It all looks great.

Nothing. Maybe try to snag a 4790k/Z97 but that would yield almost no performance difference. Maybe a bigger SSD but thats it

It's in this config of 2x2gb + 2x4gb xD

My 290 is in a better place, I am half the nerd I used to be. BUT! In 2-3 weeks with any luck Sapphire will make me whole again.

 

If you must change something do some case mods. Gives you a real sense of ownership.

Definitely replace the 2TB Toshiba drive. Maybe get 4 X 4GB DDR3 DIMMS?

You have a pretty nice system for 1080P gaming.

It runs at 3.5ghz.

Gets pretty hot because of poor tim.

The 4790(k) isnt more expensive and runs cooler (same ipc though)

But in order for me to utilise it's max potential I'll have to buy a z97 mobo which will add up quite alot :(

Really good system, If you absolutely must upgrade you could grab a 2nd 290X if you wanted to (your PSU is more than capable) apart from that it's all good. :3
