This is actually a tweaked version of a build one you guys put together for me. You can view it here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1umCS

So, how is it? Will it be able to run most 2013-2014 games on high or ultra?

I was thinking about going for the ASUS HD7950 but wasn't sure if the performance leap would be big enough to warrant spending an extra $100.
