This is my first build! Any improvements want to keep it around 1500.

Can it tackle all the latest games and upcoming ones (Bf3, Crysis3, and Bf4)

Also instead of getting a separate ssd and hdd is it better to get a sshd?

This is my first ever build and I need as much feedback as possible!

Thanks in advance!

Mostly good choices, pretty similar to my first build about a year ago:

I'd also recommend you get the 128 GB version of that SSD, it's very nice to have that extra space for games since after installing the OS, there wouldn't be a whole lot of room left for games considering how much space they'll be taking up in the future. I think RAGE set the bar at 28 GB, I could see that becoming more common.

I was about to comment on the $68 8 GB RAM kit, but then I realized it's just gone up that much. My kit is $64 now but was $45 when I got it so it looks like you're good there.

Other than that, it all looks good to me. If you were willing to spend another $40 on the PSU, the Kingwin I got is amazing though. It's made by Superflower and is basically fanless, since for most people the fan almost never turns on. It's also 650-watts at 80+ gold but some get platinum efficiency at that too. Seasonic's are great though, I just wanted what is possibly the best PSU on the market lol. It's normally $170, but is often on sale at $120-$130 with free shipping.
