Please recommend a setup for these requirements

[CCCustom]

Hi guys, I am looking to upgrade from my current i7 950 setup.

I use the PC mainly for audio editing (mainly FL Studio but learning to use Ableton now), Photoshop, and a bit of video editing.

Items I may retain:
- HSF: Megahalems w/Gentle Typhoon (if it can be re-used)
- Graphics: EVGA GTX 670SC 4GB
- Soundcard: Auzen X-Fi Forte
- PSU: Seasonic X750 (if should still be enough to run most setups, I hope)
- Casing: Lian Li PC-8FIB (if my next board is also ATX)

I'm hoping to exclude ASUS and MSI from my motherboard choices though, and I am open to possibly switching to an mATX setup (will sell the PC-8FIB and switch to an mATX casing if so).

Appreciate any recommendations based on my above requirements.

I presume you does overclocking too right?

You are also strongly recommended to reuse your RAMs...
