I accelerated my upgrade timetable.

Newegg was offering a free Crucial 8gb DDR3 1600 Cas9 module with an Asus Z77 motherboard so they suckered me into doing my upgrade 6mos. earlier than I had really planned. Pretty sure this is the route I'm going, just thought I'd put it up in case I've made a big oversight.
Gone to a 3570K, 16gb of RAM (had to get a second matching stick!)
Asus P8Z77V-LK
The Seasonic 660w Platinum PSU
2tb Seagate Barracuda HDD (I have a cache drive, and I like only dealing with one volume for Steam and that)
Putting it all in a Fractal Design R4 - The plan is to try and keep it as quiet as possible. OC is mostly an afterthrought.
I might grab that new Swiftech AIW cooler to that end, though.
My GTX570 carries over along with all the peripheral stuff.
(anyone want an i5 750 system [8gb ram..I can throw in an old GTX275], nice Lian Li case? It's going cheap! Just add an HD)
