The results:

Unfortunately only a 7.8 rating since it's impossible to get 7.9 processor rating.

Ingame counter-strike source, max settings averaged high 700-1100 max fps.

Going to post the pictures of the actual computer soon

Great choice of a case, ordered the same one yesterday for my build . You'll be able to run skyrim @max setting with those specs, 32gb of ram is overkill, your processor will max out before you ram does so if you already haven't ordered it you really don't need anything over 12gb and 8 is more then enough for gaming.

It's pretty fucking awesome. You can run Skyrim at max graphics, but you won't get the best FPS (decent though). You absolutely, in no way, needed that 32GB RAM. I would have taken 16GB out, (Which is about $100) and put it towards the GPU, and maybe scraped up for a 570/580.

Please explain to me why in the fuck you need 32 gigs of RAM.

In case of anything I don't ever want to have to upgrade I guess lol, it's really cheap anyway.

As champion said you can get less ram (Anything over 12GB is useless in your case) and put that money towards a better graphics card which will give you visible improvements in performance. Just trying to help you out and get your monies worth.

 

Ok well, I could improve some things. I could replace

Graphics card with:

Ram with:

I guess that would be better?

Your motherboard is duel channel so you should go with dual channel ram for optimal performance.

Also if your just using this for gaming and don't plan on doing any extreme editing or anything like that, you could downgrade the i7 to a i5 which is more then powerful enough for gaming you could invest the $100 saved ells ware.

 

[justinkiller]

12 gigs of ram is the most you will need and will save you quite a bit towards a better gpu.
The 3570k is even more than you need for gaming, the 3770k is overkill, and you will see maybe 2 fps difference in that $100 or so. But if you want to buy it, by all means its your money.
Also i recommend this to everyone, especially based on the price of them nowadays, buy a SSD. You will love the performance of it.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone I'm able to get a 1tb ssd from the place I work at for free, and I've replaced the ram with this:

Edit: I'm also upgrading my gpu to a EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTW 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 since I have enough to get it after replacing some stoof:

lol @ people who spend that much money on things and don't even know what they're buying.

And..? If you know so much, why don't you actually post something useful? Reported for spam.

Hell yea, get me a 1tb ssd for free too! Ill be your best friend lol.
But seriously, yea that build will kill anything you through at it.
Im not sure I would have went with the Micro ATX MOBO though, regular ATX is less cramped, and with a large GPU it may have fitment issues. I didn't take a look at the layout of the board, just my 2 cents.

You really don't need 16gb, save some money and get 8gb at max 12. You will never use the full 16gb not even close.

 

Made some major changes to what I was originally going for, thanks to everyone who posted Is there anything that I should buy or change?

Instead of getting 32gb ram, changed it to 16gb and now I have enough money to get a gtx 670 ftw, which is very similar to a gtx 680 but is much cheaper. Replaced my internal hard drive for a solid state drive.

Looks fine. Since it's a micro mobo don't plan on using 2 graphics card in SLI/CFX (space constraints). Make sure you have a reliable power supply, as you don't want to run into any problems with the components.

 

[justinkiller]

I believe 1TB ssds are around $1500+, but if that is worth it to you then get it, your money.

 

Added info about the cooling system I'm buying. Any more suggestions?

Looks like a solid build if you wipe your arse with 100 dollar bills. Theres so much you could save and get the EXACT performance. Maybe a tad bit difference.

1) i7 is overkill considering youll be using the pc just for gaming. The i5 Ivybridge unlocked will do virtually the same job and youll save about 80-120 Dollars (Maybe more)

2) GPU id have to say ATI>Nvidia. They are fantastic GPU's and never dissapoint. Also the option to overclock is avaiable which is great and Catalyst Control Centre Beats the Nvidia Client anyday. You could maybe pick up a 7950/7970 or 2 6950s in a crossfire. If you do decide to go with ati get sapphire.

3) RAM Memory is a bit overkill. 8GB is really all thats necessary for gaming.

4) 240 GB ssd is a bit overkill aswell. 120 GB is more than enough. Also for a top of the end gaming PC id have to say 1TB internal hard drive is a must.

5) LIQUID COOLING = NO NO

Id recommend air cooling and the Hyper 212 EVO cpu cooler at that.

With that money saved splash out on a Lycosa and mamba or whatever you see fit for keyboard and mouse.

Good luck with your build and pm me if you need any help. P.S if its your first time theres not much to it. Very easy.

 

I already have a mamba 2012 and corsair vengeance headset, and I've been more into nvidia gpus also but I'll check those out. My pc is not going to be just for gaming too, I host small servers for my counter strike source clan and my friends, and I'm going to start making videos on youtube.
