I've gone through Newegg finding new and compatible parts to upgrade my current computer setup with. Most of these parts are fairly expensive and the reason being is because I want to be able to make this setup last several years without the need of upgrading very often.
So if you wonder why somethings are a bit outrageous (1200w PSU for example) that is the reason why, also may do a Duo or possibly a Tri-SLI setup in the future.
[EDIT]: I went ahead and edited this current post to also include my current computer parts to give you an idea of how big of a step up the new upgrade parts will be in comparison. I didn't bother linking my current parts as some of them Newegg actually doesn't even sell anymore (I.E ASUS Striker Extreme).
