tell me if you think I should change anything my max is $1000 as you can see ive gove overbudget by 50 but that is abolut all i can go over
 
Looks fine to me. I'm assuming everything else like case and cooling and optocal drives and hard drives will be scrapped and are appropriate from the old build?
 
Looks very nice, but for that much money I'd definitely get a better PSU.
I know Antec PSU's are good, but everything else you have is high end so why only get a mid range PSU?
 
i can recommend fsp's epsilon series. i have no experience with other brand besides TT and dont recommend that. fsp has been powering my system fine so far
