I have been planning this build for over four months now and after plenty of revisions it is almost time to purchase. As the title indicates, this is solely a gaming build so things like hyperthreading and extra RAM shouldn't be an issue.
Approximate Purchase Date: The last week in August
Budget Range: $1150 (excluding OS, separate purchase)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: No
(Edit) Parts to Upgrade: All, however, I am not buying a KB or mouse
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.com
Location: It will be shipped out to Ogdensburg, NY
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I will be playing Max Payne 3, Far Cry 3, GTA IV, and BF4
Why Are You Upgrading: My current build is lagging behind very quickly
Here is the build:

I have opted out of an SSD as I don't feel it's a necessity. The 500R case is actually $100 due to a MIR. Are there any parts I could swap out? Is the 4GB model worth it? Is this a solid build?
Thanks in advance for any pointers or suggestions.
