Does anyone have helpful advice to improve (or completely change) my build?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1eliO
I am by no means a fanboy for any company so whatever is best will suit me
This PC will only be used for gaming and occasional surfing of the web
The only thing i am concerned about is the video card and how it stacks up the the flagship AMD cards.
Price range is $900-$1100
I already have Windows 7 OS
Any feedback is very much appreciated!Thanks!

looks ok just the motherboard should be asrock z77 extreme 4 if ur going to overclock which i assume you are since ur buying a i5 3570k which is unlocked and a very good overclocker. If your not in a hurry you should wait and there might be another sale on the sapphire hd 7970 again soon on newegg and its way better than the 760.
