how much is this total ?

You will be much better off with a 680 imo, it beats the 7970 in pretty much everything and is well worth the extra money, you will also only need the 750w modular (if you want) to run this system

if you dont need anything specific on the current motherboard you can drop it the the M5A99X Evo and save a lot of money, it has SLI etc

EDIT: Also, drop to the 1600MHz RAM you won't notice a difference, and you will only need 8gb for gaming, my PC has barely gone above 4GB when gaming so I have 4GB doing nothing but its always there just incase
