I'm upgrading my PC soon. I don't really need to but I would like to get a better frame-rate on Skyrim when I max it out with my favorite ENB and textures. I've sort of lost my touch with PC building, but here are my plans so far. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.
(Note: Money is not a big issue)
Current Specs:
Cooler Master Storm Enforcer
Intel Core i5 2500k OC @4.5GHz w/ Hyper 212 EVO
ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
G.SKILL RipJaws 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600 RAM
AMD Radeon 6970 2GB
500GB HDD (Honestly no idea what specs or brand)
Corsair TX750
New Specs:
Corsair Obsidian 800D
Intel Core i5 3570K (Will OC)
Corsair H100
ASUS P8Z77-V
Keeping current RAM
EVGA GTX670 FTW 2GB (Will get another one around Christmas)
Corsair AX850 80+ Gold Certified
Samsung 830 64GB SSD (For OS)
Samsung 830 256GB SSD (For games)
And keeping my HDD for misc things.
Might also get a new headset, k/m, and monitor but I'm worrying about this first.

Build seems good, I assume you're using the fan from the first in the second?
Get an Asrock extreme4 mobo instead.
If you decide you don't want the PC, send it to me. ;)

Thats a good hardrive for a backup/spares, i use it myself and they're very reliable! i changed it into and External harddrive so it is easier to transport, I'd reccomend it!
How much was the Solid State 256GB if you dont mind me asking?

Whoops, forgot to add the Corsair H100 for cooling. I probably don't need it but I want it just so I can say I have liquid cooling
@Zephir, the 256GB SSD was only $200 on Amazon.
