So I posted a while back my other build that I wanted to get, but money is tight. So instead I'm going for a really cheaper build so here's what I got.

Processor: intel i7 3770k ( thinking about overclocking to 4.2 to 4.5 I'm not to sure yet)
Graphics:evga geforce Gtx 660 2048mb
Mobo:asus p8z77-v lx lga 1155 intel z77
RAM: corsair vengeance 8gb
Power supply: seasonic 80 plus power supply m12ii 620 bronze
Case: cooler master elite 430

So what do you guys think good enough, it's pretty cheap all the parts are costing me about 800 bucks not to bad tell me what you think.

Your CPU, RAM, and MoBo is good enough (Overclocking CPU to a bit isn't a bad idea :)). It is the GPU where you are left behind.
To play most games at high settings you might want to raise your budget just a bit and invest in one of the ATI Cards. Possible HD 7850 or HD 7870.

That would be the better idea. :)
Also, I don't suggest Core i7 for gaming. For Gaming you have Core i5 series. Get your hands on i5 3570k and overclock it. It has a lot of overclocking potential. Use the saved money on HD 7850 or if possible, HD 7870.

Thanks for the advice but why not the gpu. I read great reviews on it and alot of people play they're games on ultra with this gpu. And I chose the i7 3770k for its hyperthreading which I heard is useful when video editing

Oh I see! You are into video editing as well. Then i7 is a good choice.

Actually GTX 660 can play games on high. Not ultra. :)
It is practically equal to HD 7850 which is a mid range card.

If you are not after insane textures and can live without incredible details of ultra settings, that card fits in very well. :)
