Hi All, I was going to just upgrade my gfx card but decided that its just not worth it. Considering I have not spent a penny on my PC in over 4 years now (I think) it might just be worth getting a brand new build.
So, here is my current choices. Please let me know how close I am to the mark. Remember, it will be used with my 3 dell 24" ips screens (1900 x 1200 each)

What do you think? any changes?
The current PSU is a 500w corsair I think, well respected at the time so should be ok.
Any ideas or changes? My main worry is the RAM. I will be using the PC for Work, Crysis3, FarCry3 and maybe some flight sims.
Any help will be appreciated. P.s how do you get the nice formatting from the basket?
p.s I don't really have the time to OC it to the extreme so just air cooled and easy overclocking is my target. I am hoping to get 4.4 out of it without spending more than an hour or so?
