1000W I think is a bit over board 850w would be plenty already.

Do you really need the hyper threading that comes with a 3770k? If not just get the 3570k its the same but without hyper threading so its cheaper.

Switch the corsair vengeance with a gskill 16gb ram(much smaller than corsair) or you will never fit a good cpu cooler on your board. Your motherboards fine I guess because you won't need to sli the gtx 680.

One last thing, you should get a aftermarket cpu cooler like a hyper 212 evo(30$) or a noctua NH-DH14(massive fan 80$) incase you ever want to overclock.

-UrHideless- wrote Not sure why you chose that gigabyte motherboard on that budget, this would be a better choice around that price:

1000W PSU FOR THAT!?

Get a good quality PSU, a 1000W is OVERKILL, 650w is enough for a 680, but get the AX750 if you want a high end, gold certified PSU

AX 750: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Almost the same as thermaltake armor revo 30$ cheaper:

Thanks for the suggestions but i will probably change the motherboard anyway and the reason im getting the 1000 watt psu is because it is way over what i need and i want to be safe because i might end up going sli with the graphics card and i will be changin parts alot so its just to be safe
