He is ordering it from a custom machine website.

A few things to note:

Go with an Intel i5 CPU. They will perform much better in gaming.

Ditch the liquid cooler. It won't help performance and costs a ton.

Everything else looks pretty good.
 


As the others have said, lose the APU and get an i5. Beyond that, it will not max Crysis 3 (few things can, honestly), but it should perform pretty well on all three.
