Thinking of upgrading my current rig with http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-426-OE&groupid=43&catid=2512&subcat=2513

I have an nzxtphantom case, vertex 2 ssd and a couple of normal hdd. I need the pci slots on the mobo for my soundcard (audiophile 2496)
Is my PSU enough?

any thoughts or advice?

hmm, now you have me thinking. I have been out of touch on cpus for the last few years and figured my 950 would be old hat by now.....
Ok, I mainly use my rig for Cubase, world of warcraft, the occasional game and some video editing.
What would you suggest GPU wise? I have been disappointed with the 660ti to be honest, frequent kernel errors in nvida driver, stuttering in wow during raids etc

I guess my vertex 2 is pretty outdated now too?

hmm, so would this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-129-GI be fine in my current rig? No cpu bottleneck issues? Psu ok? etc...my CPU is back running at stock by the way and no longer overclocked...I had a panic moment a year or so ago and reset it, and have now forgotten the settings to overclock lol

Possibly against my better judgement , the geek gadget boy in me came out..
Today I ordered:
EVGA GeForce GTX 780Ti Superclock ACX 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (03G-P4-2884-KR)
Intel Core i7 4770K Haswell Quad Core CPU OC to 4.2
Gigabyte z87x-oc mobo
16g teamgroup Vulcan red

Hopefully I should be able to pull back a few quid on ebay with my old cpu, mobo, ram, cooler
