I purchased my 760 as a temporary card, as this is my first real desktop I didn't have any parts to transfer over. I will be getting a 870 or 880 shortly after their release, the 760 isn't powerful enough to play most new titles on Ultra at 1080 while still getting a playable 60FPS. Only thing I would do differently now is not get the Corsair RM Series PSU.

I know the Z97 is Broadwell compatible, but I was waiting for prices to drop on the Z97 type boards when newer ones are released. However, a strong case is being made for me to purchase a PS4 for multiplayer. The scale is slowly tipping. I may end up with a budget system (my original budget minus the cost of a PS4 + destiny) but still don't know yet.

Maybe when you get the 880, I can purchase your old parts. =)
