    Looks good. You might want to throw in a decent CPU heatsink for overclocking and keeping noise down. E.g., the coolermaster 212.

    You do realise you can get the gigabyte r9 280x 3gig card for 30 more than the 760?

    The r9 280x is as good as a 770 a 340 euro+ card.

    More memory and more power. Worth it in my opinion.
