Turn my current rig into a media server and build a gaming system around it.

So change out the 4770 to 3770, suggestions on motherboards? Not going to raid anything to thats not a concern but would like to have decent audio built in. I havent had a dedicated audio card since my 667 coppermine :P And for the hard drive, they dont make a 3tb WD blue, only up to 1tb...

You dont think the 860 would bottleneck the 780?

So after four years of gaming on a ati 5770 it's time to get something that can handle today's games. Here is the system I am looking at getting. Main use is gaming on 1080 and photo editing. This is also a 24/7 rig, only time it gets turned off is power outages...

I snapped up the 49.99 16gb GSkill set that newegg had on sale before I read in my manual that the board only supported 16gb if it was 4x4gb configuration. Memory came today and I thought what the hell, I'll try it anyways. Popped both in and booted to windows first try. Checked both system...
