Unneeded CPU for gaming. Overkill RAM. Corsair SSD over a more reputable Crucial / Mushkin. No named PSU. $500 for 1200p. H100 over a Phanteks cooler which is more silent and has same performance. The entire build is complete overkill and unneeded.

Can i run like super mega ultimate graphics on bf3 and crysis 2 and such?


Yes and yes. It's still complete overkill considering you could drop down to a 2500k / 670 / 8GB kit of RAM and get relatively the same performance.

Use a long ethernet cable. Wireless is unreliable, not as secure, and you get much higher ping.

you don't need 16gb of ram for gaming and oc a 670 and you'll get the same performance as a 680 with less cost
