[dkowalewski]

I'm in the process of planning out a new build to replace my 2500k/560ti rig that has done well for the past 5 years. Here's my component list, are there any improvements that anyone would suggest?

Do you need that mobo. Too much

I am personally using Ultra II but why not Evo SSD

Maybe a higher TIER PSU. Something like EVGA G2

Upgrade the PSU and you're good.

the NEX isn't a good psu, get this Coolermaster V750S for $104.50 or supernova GQ 750w for $104.99(if you wanna SLI) instead.

I already got the Ultra II on sale about a month ago. I like the mobo because of its design and fan header locations plus I plan on giving it a decent OC.

 

Sounds like I need to switch the power supply the most. But what about the CPU cooler?

its a good cooler, go ahead. If you're wondering why i advised against the NEX when i 'recommended' it, luke messed up and replaced the GQ with the NEX.
