2,500 budget

Hey All,

Build = 1947770

So I bought my current PC from DS like 10 years ago and its rocking SLI 480GTX and still going strong.  I am ready to pull the trigger on a new build listed below but I really wanted to keep it at $2,500 if I could so I'm just looking for advice on if I can cut back on anything that you guys see.  Also looking for advice on whether or not I should wait for the new cards to come out.  My purposes are mainly gaming, I play overwatch and will be picking up the new COD probably.  I plan on getting some new monitors too if you guys have some suggestions to go along with the new PC below. Also a bit concerned with 600W PSU is that enough?  I have 1250W PSU in my current PC maybe I could swap that out not sure if thats a good idea.

Thanks again for all the input.

bprat22, as usual has advised you well. One extra point: the Velox case has the window on the right side vs the more common left side. That might not let you enjoy the interior of your rig and the light show. If you switched to the Lumos or Vanquish case, you'd hit your budget without any other changes.
