I need to polish them up...

Tidy build, dual 7970s, quite some grunt there. Pity about your poor 2500K chip. If it makes you feel better mine can clock to 5.3GHz on air.

I can't comment much on what you've got so far as I haven't kept up as late.... but I would certainly suggest that you add an SSD as your boot/programs drive. 128/256 Gig drives are pretty reasonable these days and really speed up system responsiveness/loading times.

 

[Sniping]

Agreed with an SSD...also AMD cards are great value at the moment. I remember the 7950 was just on sale for $210, and AMD is great value in general so you may want to consider going with AMD.

You don't need a 750W power supply.
The Rosewill case isn't that good.
Should go for cheaper ram.
Video card is iffy depending on how sales go when you're buying, unless you really want the warranty. On second thought, I don't think that model has the lifetime warranty.
Get an SSD.
