Looking for build advice

[OldWorld]

Edit: If you guys can recommend me any better components for a similar price (preferably maybe £20 more at most, money's tight), unless the components I have mentioned are good. I don't know much about motherboards for instance, is the one I've mentioned in my desired build below a good one?

Hi guys, I've got a semi-decent gaming computer already, but I've been wanting to upgrade for a couple of years now. Recently got a new job, and with the money I bought myself a GTX 780ti. Having bought this, it's made me want to spend more money and upgrade my PC further.

I've got some questions, but first I'll show my current build, and desired build.

Current build:
EVGA GTX 780ti SC
i5 2550k
8GB DDR3
Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3 Motherboard (I think it's mini ATX?)
Alpine 750W Quiet Silent PC Power Supply
Noctua NH-D14 Heatsink
NZXT Source 210 Mid Tower

Desired build:
EVGA GTX 780ti 3GB SC
i7 4770k
8GB DDR3
ASUS Z87M-PLUS Motherboard
EVGA Super NOVA 850W PC Power Supply - Gold
Noctua NH-D14 Heatsink
NZXT Source 210 Mid Tower

Note that the tower linked above isn't the exact same model, but they look more-or-less identical and I believe they are the exact same size.

My heatsink 'does' fit, believe it or not, at the expensve of obstructing two of the four RAM slots, it's also half an inch away from touching the side of the case.

Something I'm concerned about, if you look at this link, what is that yellow thing that sticks out to the left side of where the processor/heatsink would go? I'm worried my heatsink would get in the way, can the yellow thing be removed?

So all-in-all, would this build be compatible? Would it offer decent performance? Also, does the linked motherboard allow you to enable Intel Turbo Boost from within the BIOS? Would it all fit within a Mid-sized tower?

A huge thanks in advance, if it 'is' compatible I will purchase immediately.

Are you planning on gaming with this build? Will any other hardware intensive applications be frequently used ?

 

[OldWorld]

I'm planning on gaming, yeah. No other hardware intensive applications will be used, just games.

This is an entire full build that would max every game

I could recommend something cheaper though

 

[Scampi]

In regard to carrying over from your "What's holding me back ?" thread: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2164824/holding-back.html

I'd stick with the suggestion i made there, that it's that cheap £20 PSU that is holding you back. It's struggling at high load & hampering your performance. I'd recommend replacing the PSU first & try your system out with that to see if things improve. If you still feel it's holding you back, then go for the upgrade.

 

[OldWorld]

@Scampi: I bought a new PSU today, 850w. Hopefully it'll come tomorrow. Linked below.

@IRONBATMAN, I forgot to hyperlink the text, the first build I already own, the second build is one I want to have. I was wondering if those components would work. I'm set on them, as long as they work, as money's on a budget.

Current build:
EVGA GTX 780ti SC
i5 2550k
8GB DDR3
Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3 Motherboard (I think it's mini ATX?)
Alpine 750W Quiet Silent PC Power Supply
Noctua NH-D14 Heatsink
NZXT Source 210 Mid Tower

Desired build:
EVGA GTX 780ti 3GB SC
i7 4770k
8GB DDR3
ASUS Z87M-PLUS Motherboard
EVGA Super NOVA 850W PC Power Supply - Gold
Noctua NH-D14 Heatsink
NZXT Source 210 Mid Tower

First build will perform better than my recommendation, why upgrade ?

 

[OldWorld]

Is an i7 4770k much better than an i5 2550k? If so, I was going to need to buy a new motherboard too as my current motherboard doesn't support the socket type of the 4770k.

 

[IRONBATMAN]

The i5-2500k is good enough for gaming. Paired with your GTX 780 ti, it should be able to max all games on 1920 x 1080

There would be a small increase but not a worthwhile one for the cost of a new CPU/Mothebroard form what you already have:
