Second opinion on this build please?

[jamiehalpin06]

Hello,

I currently have this build:

• 
  i7 3770 (stock)
  GTX 780ti
  4 x 2 GB (7 year old)
  Dead hard drive (7 year old)
  Random Alienware x51 motherboard from 2011-2012 which is still alive surprisingly.
  750w power supply

I am going to upgrade it with this:

• 
  i7 3770 (Not changed)
  GTX 780ti (Not changed)
  Samsung EVO 500 SSD
  Seagate 2TB BarraCuda 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive
  Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 RAM
  Hyper 212 Evo (Processor Fan)
  AS Rock a77 Extreme 4 (Still in box 2-3 years old)
  750w power supply (Not changed)

Any causes for concern or suggestions?

Thanks.

If those are the parts you need to get your rig to power on than i would say go for it. If your pumping money into this old rig and you dont need to to get it running than i would say its a waste

Random Alienware mobo is usually OEM Asus, or can be MSI, so it's not entirely unusual for them to last a good long time. Usually the only gripe about those boards is the dismal bios, you really can't do much with one. Other than that, I'm running a 3770k with 120Gb ssd and 16Gb of 1866MHz and 1Tb hdd without an issue on a gtx970, so to me yours is quite a good upgrade from original and since the 3770 is an Ivy-Bridge i7, it's still a viable cpu for any gaming the 780ti is capable of.
