Hi All,

I am about to purchase a gaming rig with a tight budget. I would like to play Crysis 3 or Battlefield4 at very high settings. I would like suggestions for either upgrading or downgrading the specs below(ex. go mATX instead of ATX, downgrade SSD to 128, and etc). I would appreciate any suggestions since I am no expert.

Note: I'm overclocking the CPU but not too much. Not into SLI nor crossfire.

Casing: Corsair Vengeance C70 Mid-Tower Gaming Case
Cooler: Corsair H100i Extreme Performance
Mobo: LGA1150 Gigabyte Z87-D3HP
Processor: LGA1150 Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40-3.80GHz (Quad Core) Haswell
HDD SSD: ADATA XPG SX900 Series 256GB SATA3 6GB/s SSD
HDD Internal: WD Caviar Blue 1TB SATA 3
PSU: Hec Cougar PowerX 700w Power Supply
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8gb 2x4gb ddr3 1600 CL9
VGA: HIS HD 7970 IceQ X2 3gb 384bit ddr5

Please advise,

Thanks

Oh, I'm sorry for not including that. My resolution is 1920x1080. I use only 1 monitor but maybe 2 in the near future

The specs above are already in my budget($1000-1300). I would just like recommendations to either downgrade 1 spec to upgrade another spec.
