Is my PC ready to enter the realm of "Nextgen" gaming? Here are my system specs:
i5 3570k oc'ed to 4.3Ghz - G. Skill 16Gb DDR3 @ 1800Mhz Cooled by Cooler Master N520 - MOBO P8Z77-v/lk -Gigabyte GTX 770 w/ 4Gb DDR5 RAM - 1.5TB HDD - Corsair TX650 Enthusiast Edition Power Supply Unit and a Zion ZON 980-BK Case tower with 7 120mm Red Led Fans on Case.
Maybe a few months from now I'm upgrading PSU and going SLI but as it stands, is my Rig ready to run the newest games @ 1080 w/ 60FPS?

A 7870/660 is ready enough for next-gen games. The PS4 has the equivalent of a 7850, which is still more powerful than the One's (equivalent) 7790. So yes, your 770 should keep you set for the next 3 years at least.

Yeah, I was thinking of going 850Watt and currently in the market for one to I can be ready to SLI hopefully before the end of the year. (Fingers Crossed) -Which would you suggest that is cost efficient yet durable? & Yeah I had to save up my chips for a while building this rig piece by piece, (It was torture!) LoL! But well worth it ;)

Hmmmm interesting, my apologies... 8GB of GDDR5 memory on a full shared system is a little on the odd side. gonna have some interesting issues related to it, but lets see. :D

Buuuuuut! Not all that DDR5 memory is dedicated to gaming... A whopping 3.5Gb will be dedicated to the OS as well as 2 of the 8 cores from the APU... Source: http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/07/26/ign-news-ps4-dedicates-35gb-or-ram-to-os

I never said it wasn't, I was just saying that it had some. Also, more proof of the glorious PC Gaming Master Race decimating those filthy console peasants. (We deserve caps, they don't.):)
