£1700 Upgrade, quite a bit more than I've done before

+5 Billion for the 540, i just watercooled my main rig in their today.

I added that motherboard yesterday afternoon, after sleeping on it and reading this, I was being silly to consider it really - just burning money. I included it, along with the 900D because I could SLI, add watercooling properly etc IF I wanted to in the future (2, 3 years down the line). From previous experience I've not had a computer longer than 2 or 3 years without something major changing anyway (making that whole thing moot). So yeah, I'll save the money and still have basically the same machine for my uses (but there is still room for these changes if it lasts that long).

More sensible, I feel. I'll have a sleep over the 700 or the 540 cases.

Thanks everyone for all the input regarding this, it should be fairly obvious I'm a bit out of my depth with the high end specs.

i'd switch a few things, if your planning on 780Ti sli i'd go for a slightly larger psu just for the headroom especially if your overclocking, if not the 1000w will be fine.
