Hi,

Its time for an upgrade im just not sure what to get on a few components! machine will be used for gaming at 1080p and I would like full ultra settings on all games!

CPU: Intel I5 3570K 3.4GHZ

Motherboard: im torn between Gigabyte Z77-D3H Intel Z77 £90 and Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 £112, what is the difference between these two? Im most likely going to want to oc to about 4.4ghz would i be able to do that on the £90 board?

Ram: 8GB wanted but im not sure what to get?

Graphics Card: Sapphire HD 7970 OC BOOST 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with Crysis 3 & Bioshock PC Games

SSD: 128gb OCZ Vertex 4...is this the best SSD or is there something better in the 120gb range?

Case: Corsair Carbine 500R....really like this case

Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 2GB SATA 3

Cooler: Alpenföhn K2 Mount Doom CPU Cooler

PSU: i already have a corsair HX520 is this going to be enough or should i upgrade?
