So, here is my rig as it currently stands.
Plays most games very well for having an older card, but it's starting to show its age on newer titles, and I'm looking to start upgrading a bit for SC.
1) I am content with my CPU, but want to get a prebuilt liquid cooler both over overclock a bit more (EVO 212 keeps it cool at 4.2 Ghz) and also because I live in Florida and gaming during the summer turns my apartment into a miniature swamp, so not having a bunch of excess heat would be fantastic. Looking at a Corsair H90i since my case has a 140mm top fan I can swap it out with.
2) Graphics cards, graphics cards, graphics cards. So many options it could be an entire post by itself. Let's just leave it at I'm planning on getting one 980/390x/Fury Nano now (ie in the next two months), and SLI/Crossfiring another once VR hits for solid 90hz for Vive (twin 1200 x 1080 screens will probably need dual cards for max level graphics and decent Anti-Aliasing, I'm guessing) Waiting on full benchmarks from AMD's new lineup to make a final decision.
3) PSU. My current one is an 850, but a) with plans to Crossfire, and b) just general reasons, I want to get an 80+ Gold, probably 1000W. I have heard good things about the EVGA Supernova and Corsair RM series, so those are at the top of my list.
So if anyone has some recommendations for/against any of the parts, I would appreciate it.
