After a ton of research I have decided that I want to build a PC rather than purchase it from IBuyPower or CyberPower. I've read through many threads and it seems that everybody is suggesting that I build it myself.
This is a build I came up with and since it is my first build I was wondering if I could get some advice about it. Is there any issues with this build? I want to use it to game at max settings and I might end up doing some auto cad.
Heres the build. I used PC part picker bc it seems to be the go to site for most people looking to build.

Here you go. This will perform MUCH better. The CPU is one of Intel's best CPUs, and will destroy anything; auto Cad, CPU-intensive games, anything. The dual 7970 GHz will perform similar to the dual 780s, and if you are planning on auto Cad, I think that the tradeoff from 780-7970 GHz for 4670k-3930k is beyond worth it. This build also has aftermarket fans, a nicer case, and a much nicer PSU for any extreme overclocking that you (should) do. :)
