With this build you should be able to max every game.

If you wanted to save some money on the OS you could pick one up from eBay for about half the price, and it's genuine.

I'd get a PCIe wifi card instead of a USB one. USB ones don't really live up to what you'd expect of them. I know this from experience, and from what other people have told me about them.

Other than that great build. Enjoy!

You should go with this. I don't think I, or anyone else could recommend anything better.

Actually just one more change. The RAM. Change the RAM to some 1600MHz RAM, you can get 8GB of 1600/1866MHz RAM for the same price as the RAM you have listed.

I'm guessing you are about to throw over a grand on this, judging by the PCPAtPicker price and GPU price.

But this will be better!

The R9 280X is pretty much the same as a 7970 but performs better for less, so it's a non brainer really.

The one i gave you, will outperform the other by a considerable amount.

Faster RAM
Better SSD
Better Motherboard
Better case

But it's up to you, it's your money...

The build that you've suggested will be very good for gaming/average computer use, right?
