A year or so ago I used /r/buildapc to help build my first rig. I did try to go a bit high-end, but kept my budget in mind. To be honest, I enjoy a nice modded Skyrim and Minecraft and watching with amazement as my friends peasants revel in seeing how beautiful everything looks on it... but I want more. I want to leave the chains of my previous console-life (I have already made my PS3 a glorified Netflix and BluRay player) and really stretch my legs. So I present you my launch pad:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

My first thought was a second video card... or flat out replacing the current with two new ones. Unfortunately, I really don't know what would be considered good without paying my left nut for it. Any other thoughts from those in the pantheon above?

And how many of you have experience with overclocking? That's my next step... but I'm an accountant by trade, so we're not exactly risk takers and the thought of destroying my beautiful machine worries me a lot more than I'd like.
