Hi, I'm going to be building my first PC soon (upgrading from an Xbox 360) and I want it to be a quiet, small and powerful replacement for my Xbox and it needed to fit in my living room. Based on this I have chosen these parts. What do you think? Will it replace my Xbox? And will it run most games on High/Ultra settings at ~60 FPS? Please give as many tips as you can as its my first build. Thanks in advance.

Drop the i7 3770k to a i5 3570k. The only upside for gaming is the 0.1 ghz increase in clock speeds, but since they're both unlocked, it makes no difference... Then again, the new consoles have 8 cores, so in the future (I'd say 3 to 6 years if at all) that may prove rewarding... But more graphics power is always a benefit. Your call.

P.s. A 7950 runs bf 3 on ultra at 1080pw/ 4x msaa at ~60 fps.
