Hey all, I'm not really a stranger to swapping parts out of my computer and whatnot, though I haven't really attempted something quite so big yet, and just want to make sure that I run this by someone who knows their stuff more than I do. I was able to rock XIV 1.0 with my Core 2 Duo, though as you can guess, it wasn't the most lovable experience.  I don't want to just straight up buy a new machine, so I'd rather upgrade the existing stuff, and change out the parts that need it most.  Which from what I have been told, are the motherboard, ram, power supply, and processor. Could someone just take a look through these parts and tell me if they would be a good buy/work properly?  I have a budget of around $800 for this, so I'm wanting to get some decent stuff, but also not splurge. Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6813131837 PSU COOLER MASTER Silent Pro RSA00-AMBAJ3-US 1000W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V v2.92 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6817171049 CPU Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I73770K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6819116501 RAM CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6820145345 What do you all think of this junk?  Does this all look like it would work well together?  Are there alternate parts you would recommend?  Anything here I should avoid?  Anything critical I'm missing? Any thoughts you have would be GREATLY appreciated   I get an extra paycheck next month, and am looking to throw it at this project.
