Hey TTG, This is my 1st PC build and I was wondering what all of you PC gamers think. I'm building it around Christmas time to New Years.

My PC

What I'm going to do with it
Battlefield 4
Battlefield 3
Call of Duty: Ghosts
Crysis 3
Minecraft Mods
Day Z


So what's your guys' thoughts? Updated I realized I didn't need a high end CPU so its either the one I have listed or the i3 processor because it has hyperthreading so windows sees it as 4 cores
POST BELOW

Why GTX 660? It's last gen and not exactly high end. Better to get something newer, but what's your budget? You could get an i5 and an R9 270X or an 8320 and an R9 280X.

The AMD products suck, I know that for a fact. My friend had one that crashed all the time while playing BF4 and he had one that cost around $500

Feisty! My goodness, AMD products do not suck, fact. Where you say my friend had "one" that "crashed all the time," what does that even mean? What component are you referring to? Regardless, if any crashes were happening, they would be directly related to his system, whether it be outdated drivers or an insufficient power supply. AMD products are fantastic as they have the best spectrum of CPU/GPUs for many price points.

AMD products certainly do not suck. Sure, they can't compete with Intel in the higher priced performance chips, but you sure do get hell of a bang for the buck with cheap 6 core and 8 core chips.

Components do not "give up," they stop themselves or are stopped by limitations regarding to software related errors or hardware incompatibilities.

I've heard all the time that AMD CPU's and GPU's suck. You might prove me wrong but what's an AMD GPU that is around $200-230??
