I had to take the SSD out to get it down, and keep the 770. Though, SSD is a luxury ( a nice one :P)

I'm still pretty flexible. What are your thoughts on upgrading with Asus Sabertoothz77 Mobo instead of the AsRock? Just curious. Would it be overkill for my system? Not a fan of the case but I know that is like a Cell phone cover, hundreds of thousands are out there and good looking out on the Windows 7. 8 is just ass IMHO

And when I say flexible, I'm taking $1000-$1300
