Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it.

Your storage options are too expensive. $140 for 128GB of SSD and $150 for 2TB of HDD is way too much. 2 Tb seagate barracudas should run around $90.

Should I also be paying less for a 128GB SSD? If so, what should I be looking for?

I know that the 780s are very nice, but at 1080 you would do well with a 760.

When I originally configured this build, I had chosen a 770. I bumped it up to a 780 to see what the reaction would be. When gaming at 1080, is there any reason to go with the 770 over the 760?

General notes: overclocking is FREE performance. It is best to utilize the overclocking potential of your system provided that it performs well and is not too hot.

To be perfectly honest, the only thing preventing me from overclocking on day one is my fear of destroying expensive components.
