Meh, I think most of it is kind of a waste of money for such a small upgrade.. Paying $100 mainly just for looks on the mobo is kinda dumb (imo). Even if it's just $50 (oh and Sapphire rebates are pretty much retarded, go read it), not sure if the graphics upgrade it worth it, especially since you're happy with performance right now. Also, the XT is mucho loud. I still wouldn't get a Rosewill psu but that's just me..
Just my opinion..
It is not just the Look please read better. I said my current mobo does not have RAID and i want to set up a RAID 0 array, as well as its very picky overclocking, as well as the NB runs hot and I can't add a cooler since the HSF is too close. The placement of the power connector is just another thing that really bugs me and kind of just sends me over the edge. Plus I really want a 650i board.
The X1950XT is much more powerful than my 7900GS and also I just put that link up there to show you, I plan on getting an X1950XT off of ebay for 180 bucks shipped. My rig is fairly loud already as my case fans easily are the loudest thing so theres no way the fan will beat them.
As for the Rosewill PSU I am very aware of their status but I told you up above that the model I'm getting is the RP550 comes very recommended by many many people who test PSU's. It is more stable than a lot of FSP's around that price that are only 450w.
This is not just a "small" upgrade.
