I am going to be buying a new computer in the next few weeks and have built them on many different websites. I was wondering if this will be good enough to run new/high end games on high+ settings as well as if the system will work well with no issues ( over heating, really loud etc..) Thanks!

Sounds like a prebuilt from Cyberpower, you can build it yourself for cheaper (if it is DIY then great :p). Drop the Seidon and get a CM Hyper 212 EVO unless you are doing insane overclocks. That motherboard is rather simple, try to get an ASrock Z77 Extreme4 or an ASUS P8Z77-V-LK. These boards are built better and will have better power delivery and stuff which will come in handy when you overclock. Not saying it's a bad board either. [strike]There is no video card. This means that you will not be able to play games on this build. It's that simple. Fortunately I have a couple suggestions for you. Around $160 you should get a GTX 650 Ti Boost, around $140 get a 7790. Around $120 then get a GTX 650 Ti if you can find one for cheap or just get a 7770. Also you do not need the Corsair CX 750w PSU, it will run fine on a good 500W or 600W unit.[/strike]

EDIT: Aaaand I'm blind. The 7870 was hiding in there. It's a great build. You can drop the PSU down to a CX600 or even a CX500 to save some cash. Getting a Hyper 212 EVO instead of the Seidon should also save you cash. If you can then try to get a Sapphire 7870 Xt or a Powercolor 7870 Myst or Ez. These cards use the Tahiti LE chip. You get near 7950 performance but you only pay roughly around $250.
 
The motherboard says it supports Crossfire, but bear in mind it's limited to the x16/x4 setup which isn't optimal. So you could either give up on Crossfire and get a lower-wattage power supply (550W would be plenty), or you could step up to a SLI/Crossfire motherboard. The Asrock Z77 Extreme3 tends to be a better deal than the Extreme4, the difference between them is pretty small.

Thanks for the responses! I don't have much knowledge about motherboards so I may look into getting a better one if I can. I don't have the time and ability to build it, plus it only running me 900$ for all of it, I am how ever looking into a friend of mine build it for a price but I have yet to hear back from him about the price. I also want the 3 year warranty that comes with the companies. The cooling system was a free upgrade by the website and the power supply was also a free upgrade ( that is why I have them and not a less expensive one)
