In your system specs youve stated that you have 2600k, decent board and ram. Why bother with a side grade to a (imho) low-midrange board and cpu that will be bottlenecked by the mb? Just a little perplexed by your decision. A 2600k, overclocked or even at stock is still a very powerful cpu. And your motherboard is still quite good as well.

Since you already have bought a 7970, I would only be upgrading that chieftec psu to something better.

So really its just a new PSU which is really worth doing as far as I'm concerned but if you like spending money go for it.
