This started as a sub 600 dollar build, but I kind of kept on adding stuff. It's a problem I have. My current plans are to buy and set up the CPU and mother board and then wait for any price drops to buy the rest. The mother board could be cheaper, but I wanted the ability to add a second GPU at a latter date and apparently H97 doesn't support features needed to make that work.

Questions:

• Is it better to upgrade the GPU to one with more RAM or to upgrade the CPU to a K version/get cpu cooler and over clock?
• What options do I have for a power supply.
• Is it worth waiting for a new i5?
• Will I run into too much trouble adding a second 8 gig stick latter?
• I can wait a bit. I have a compute that will barely handle the gaming I'm throwing at it now. What's coming along that might convince me to wait?
• I've used a Mac as my main machine in the past and changed the hard drive in it. How hard will it be to change hard drives in a Windows machine?
