So my questions were is this build good enough to run newer or current games like crysis 3, far cry 3, bioshock infinite at max at at LEAST 60 fps although i dont actually want to have that minimum i want to have at least some security from a little extra power. I guess in other words maybe a little overkill. I am also a little concerned about whether i should get the geforce gtx 680 or the 7970 already in my build. Also if you could suggest a low priced keyboard or mouse suitable for gaming? And you could also change or suggest things in my list. thx.
