After putting a PC together for a friend, it’s made me want to upgrade my i5 760 and 5850, so I want a whole new PC build.

As this is a gaming/editing setup, I’m not sure to go for an i5 or an i7 (I will mainly be gaming) and if it should be ivybridge or haswell. I’m thinking about doing RAID 0 with two 1tb drives (for recording purposes) and then having an SSD for windows/programs and the 1.5tb drive I’ve already got for everything else. For the GPU I was thinking one of the new Nvidia 700 series cards, either a 760 or 770, maybe even SLI 760’s? I could even stretch for the 780 if you somehow convinced me it’s a good idea :D I’m very much someone that goes for bang for buck.

The parts I’ve already got are
Crucial BLT4G3D1869DT2TXOBCEU 4GBx4 1866mhz ram (16GB)
H50 Cooler (works for 1155 and 1150 socket cpu’s)
1.5tb HDD 7200rpm
Xonar d2x Soundcard

So if you could recommend me
CPU: i5/i7 ivy/haswell
MOBO: Decent for overclocking
SSD: 120gb~
HDDx2: 1tb (x2) for recording
GPU:
PSU:

Thanks!
 
 
Somehow I forgot to mention I need a case and a cd drive as well lol! I think the 4770k is the CPU I'll go for, however I don't expect to do much overclocking because I hear they run quite hot. I pretty much picked a random SSD, but I expect to get one around that price range. The mobo I picked seems to be the minimum I'll need, It doesn't support SLI, but if i get a 770 I shouldn't feel the need. One thing I'm not sure about is that it doesn't support 1866mhz ram without OC, but I'm guessing that's fine to do? I think 750w is enough (probably overkill) for everything I've got + 3 monitors. With the parts I've picked there isn't much wiggle room to improve, but I'd probably build a whole new system when I wanted to. Any thoughts or recommendations would be great, thanks :)
