Hi everyone
I'm looking at building my first PC in a few weeks and thought i'd post the specs up and see what everyone thought of them. I am hoping to use this for pretty intense gaming (high settings) and also for recording gameplay with fraps. I understand that using fraps is pretty demanding, but I think that this build can do it.

I am hoping to play (at high/ultra high)
- Battlefield 3/4
- Far Cry 3
- GTA IV/V
- Splinter Cell Blacklist

I am also hoping to use Premiere Pro and After Effects quite intensely to edit 1080p/2.7K videos. So if you could just say what you think of it and that would be great! Oh also, I live in Australia and hope to buy my parts from Umart in Milton...if that helps.
Thanks!

I am also considering upgrading to the evga GTX770, but I'm wondering if the performance upgrade is worth the money.

Definitely upgrade to the evga GTX770. Nvidia just released the gtx 780ti and dropped the price of the 770 down to $329(or something close) from $400. I have one and i run Bf3 like a dream on ultra. Hoping to play bf4 tonight if i can preload it fast enough!

Yeah I've seen the article about the price drop, but since I live in Australia I'm not sure the extent of the price drop over here
