Is it all good and compatible.

thanks
 
I would bump the wattage on the power supply if your think of swapping it out latter with a faster gpu.
I would also hold out a few weeks on buying the parts are newer x97 mb are dropping.

the older x8x wont take the newer haswell refresh cpu or the next broadwell cpu.
 


Do you know roughly how long it will be before this next gen stuff releases. Is it worth waiting, i really wanted to start picking up the parts this week. How much of an improvement will there be in the new cpu.
