    I'd swap the motherboard for an ASRock Z77 Extreme4, or Pro3 if you want to save some money. They're generally more reliable than Gigabyte boards. Looks good otherwise though.

    I'd change to the 7950 over the 7970 as well. The performance difference between the two doesn't justify the price difference.

    Both overclocked there's only 5-8% difference in game performance.
