Ordered a New Gaming PC Should Arrive on Jan 1st!

[risk it nerd]

Hey guys! I just ordered a new gaming PC. However, I didn't choose to build it myself since the store offered me free building and I really didn't want to mess everything up!
It costed me $1900 which sucks because prices here, in Israel are ridiculously high so $1900 for the tower, only!
Specs:
Intel i7 3770k, don't hate I know an i5 is just the same in gaming please, don't argue about this.
Sapphire Dual-X 7950 3GB GDDR5
Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H
Sharkoon Avya Value or something White
8GB 2133MHz G.Skill Ares
120GB Corsair Force 3
1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue
SeaSonic 650W Bronze Certified 80 PLUS
LG SATA x24 Read/Write Optical Drive.
Is't worth it to call the store NOW and tell them to change the GA-Z77-D3H with a GA-Z77X-D3H?
I really wanted to build it on my own, however I never built a PC alone, so I didn't want to mess up and the building didn't cost anything, it's the cheapest price in Israel here, so I'm sure you will go like $2000 build with a 7950? My $800 has one! I can do nothing, these are the prices in Israel..
Now I can finally start real gaming and move from my socket 775 to 1155! And from integrated GPU to dedicated GPU and run every game for 2 or so years maxed out! That was a dream, also my Dad paid something like 70% of the price, he is happy about it.
Give me opinions

definitely a bit overpriced, but nonetheless you're still looking at a good, strong build.

Honestly, you could've very well built it yourself. It's not hard at all, and if you had any questions you could ask on here, or browsed tutorials around the interwebs. IMO, the hardest part is finding a way to organize the wires. Often times, you find that you're simply never happy with the way you did it the first time. Or the second. or even the third time sometimes! Building your PC yourself gives you a good feel for what you're working with...so if anything ever goes wrong or you decide to upgrade later, you already have a good idea of how to do it.

Yeah, I know, well they offered it for free so I went for it And also they offer lowest (Or 2nd lowest) prices in the country I live in.
I watched 2 NCIX/LinusTechTips guides and Newegg's guide add that to Austin's (Duncan33303) so I'm familiar with building and had helped a friend, but never did it alone, I know where everything should go and blah..
Well do you know an estimation of what FPS I will get on BF3/Far Cry 3 with max setting on 1600x900 or 1920x1080?

I probably would have went 1 680 over CFX 7950s, just because CFX/SLI can be buggy and shit. But overall a good looking build.

Can feel for the overpriced, Aussies pre overpriced with most things, but not insanely tho for PC parts thank god.

Yea, I have a friend who lives in AUS he said he pays crazy prices for shoes and clothes.

Yeah, really sucks, and I don't even get the AMD 4-in-1 or any other freebie! I didn't even pay for OS it's $130 for regular Windows 8, I will just.. I guess you guys know what
Want to change my monitor it's a 20-inch Samsung 1600x900 so it won't even use my 7950's power.. Is a 27" huge?

With your 7950, you should expect to see right around 50-60 FPS in most games with pretty much maxed settings, which is completely playable by all means. It's not their top-end card, as i'm sure you know. But it's a high end card with more than enough power to play anything you can currently throw at it.

27" monitor looks excellent, btw. I used to run a 27" on my desktop. LOVED sitting behind that thing, games look amazing at 2560x1600 resolution!

 

[Noodles :)]

Honestly, I wouldn't go above 24" for 1080p, imo 1080p 27" is yucky.
I'd just grab a standard 24" 1080p LED and use your 20" as a secondary monitor,

If I ever get 2560x1600 I will crossfire...
I know the Radeon HD 7970 is the top-end, well it's not much of a difference at all, I know that the 8000 series is about to come, so I will maybe upgrade after a year and a 7950 will be enough for more than 2 years on every game..

I'm not sure if I'm going to fork out $700 for a 2560x1600 IPS monitor.. so I will more likely get 24" with 1920x1200/1080..

27s run 2560*1440 usually for a higher end, and you can get some cheapo branded ones for $350~.

Like which? Link me to Amazon.com since it's the only one that ships to Israel (sometimes)
EDIT: If you find one that is around 300-325 tell me; anything above 325 will get VAT or whatsoever.
thanks for your time!

 

[Noodles :)]

IIRC, only ones I've seen have been on eBay, so not entirely sure about shipping to Israel. :/

I wouldn't bother planning on an upgrade to the 8000 series quite yet. Once it's been confirmed that the cards WILL use a newer & better architecture, only then would I consider worrying about an 8000 series card.. And even then...if i had your build, i'd wait til they've been out for a while so the prices on the new cards come down a bit. That, and all of the third-party companies should have the quirks worked out of them by then.
your card won't be obsolete anytime soon, so I wouldn't worry about it. If you need more firepower than what you've got...then by that time you should be able to find another 7950 for REALLY cheap, so you can just crossfire 'em.

Ya, the 7950 I bought isn't a reference card so it may be discontinued.. and my mobo has 1 PCIe 3 and 1 PCIe 2 I can CFX but not sure if it does anything bad.

I just found out Thai I get far cry 3 and some othe games for free with purchase of my card!!
