[BUILD HELP] Am I getting the best deal on my upgrades?

Compy Updates

So I've currently got a i7 920 CPU (getting old now) and a matching EVGA 1366 Socket motherboard.

I just upgraded my 560 GTX to a 290x 4GB Video card not too long ago. Hoping to follow suit with the rest of my build.

The main thing for me is to make sure I'm getting the best bang for my buck. I want to have USB 3.1, M.2, and any special 6gb/s ports, HDMI, SLI, etc. on the motherboard.

Wanted to go with an i5 since I feel like the i7 processors aren't being maximized in gaming. i5 seems to give me just as good performance for a cheaper price. I plan to overclock it anyway. I have a Corsair H55 waterblock for it so that shouldn't be an issue.

I'm currently using 6gb OCZ GOLD 1600 DDR3 Ram (3x 2GB) and it's not sold anymore to my knowledge...oh well. I'm hoping to get the 1 8GB stick and a 2nd one a little later.

So yeah, any help on making sure I'm getting the best components for what I'm wanting AND for the PRICE would be a huge help.
