Buyer's Guide - Hardware? ~ 2k Budget

Hey, got a nice payout coming in the next few weeks so I decided, I'll upgrade my gaming & afkbotting PC.

Needed:
  • GPU(s): Got the GTX 770 Jetstream from Palit running, which doesn't give me W_D with Ultra settings ... so she gotta go.

  • RAM: 16 GB are not enough for the amount of VM I want to run at my machine, so it'll have to be 32GB.

  • PSU: 550W from bequiet might not be sufficient I guess? :D

  • Mainboard: a new one (maybe with i7 4xxx support?)

  • CPU: ------^

  • CPU Cooling: Is mine sufficient? (See below)

  • 1 or 2 monitors with maybe 120Hz and a nice resolution (to be considered with the new GPU)



My System:
  • CPU: i7 3770

  • CPU Kühler: Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev.A (BW) Tower Kühler

  • RAM: 16GB 1600MHz

  • GPU: nVidia GeForce 770 Jetstream (Palit)

  • PSU: 550W bequiet Gold

  • Monitor: Samsung S24B350H

  • Mainboard: AsRock H77 Pro4/MVP



What hardware would you suggest?
(excuse my bad english :l )
What is your budget you have available to upgrade your PC?
hmm around 1-2k€ (Germany is expensive with hardware :x )
Oh yeah got a Asus Xonar STX already, so no need for a motherboard with "excellent sound" and shit (maybe WLAN though).


Think I'm going to go for:

3072MB Inno3D GeForce GTX 780 Ti iChill
760 Watt Corsair AXi Series Modular 80+
32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro Series silve
Zalman Reserator 3 Max
27" (68,58cm) LG Electronics Flatron

Any comment about that?
