Remove Windows from the list. -83$
1) Install Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 from MSDN ISO (running in trial mode without activation).
2) Do magic (Exact incantation skipped because... reasons)
3) Upgrade to Windows 10 for free. Your temporary activation will turn into permanent one.

Replace GTX 960 with GTX 970. +115$
You'll be able to run most of the games on Ultra in fullhd at really high fps.

And look again at your motherboard.

Replace GTX 960 with GTX 970. +115$.

The 970 has double the memory bandwidth, along with justified performance increase on all other performance values. Get the 970.

the "70" in the 970 means its the biggest bang for your buck. "80" you are entering the realm of paying a premium. 960 and lower are really entry level and should only be considered if you are playing an older game.
