I got this rig made for overclocking, gaming, video editing, and streaming. I just need to make the most out of my money. I'm up for changes for the better. I'm willing to extend my budget to 1750 or so if ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. Alright here is the bad boy.

Also for the keyboard and mouse I'm willing to change. I'm really looking forward to a black widow and adder. If there are better things I'll change if it's a way better use of the money.

Keep the PSU, even for one card it's better to have that decent PSU that you chose.

I'd give a massive thumbs up for the Asus Direct CU II aftermarket of the Geforce cards as the 20% better cooling provides headroom for overclocking or quiet operation and all around goodness... you'll spend some extra coin but it's worth it in the long run.

Maybe add some more RAM, if you can afford it. If you can't just stick wtih your original build and upgrade it later(Birthday present to self :D )
