So I am looking to upgrade rig in the coming month because I got my first job as a swimming teacher and i went in for the interview to find out that my first paycheck will be 2400$ in two weeks of work. so i want to setup a budget of 500$ for the next month so far I want the 1000 watt evga Platinum II power supply because I plan to buy two 2016 Titan X's because why not and I was wondering what other parts I should upgrade. again the budget is 500$ minus the 180 for the power supply. I can a little over the 500 limit to about 600. I don't exactly know what I want/need so I came here to ask what would be a good upgrade path to take next.

 

Here is my current build with the power supply in the list. My current power supply is a Corsiar AX 860i.  http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Y6sZf8

 

So any ideas on what I should get next?

that 860I is fine not worth upgrading, it will handle even 2 Titan X's just buy those cards and you will be ok.

nah I plan on overclocking the crap out of my cpu and in the far future I would rather have one part that I can keep for a long time without ever having to change it, also I plan on getting a 6900k in the near/not so near future so it will be a good idea to have a couple hundred extra watts.

it will even handle those OC for you. Previous titan x's  graphic Card Power (250W) now i think even less.
