Hey everyone, I'm planning on joining the master race this December by building a PC. Due to budget restrictions, I won't be able to build a super high-end rig. I'm estimating my budget will be around $750 or so. I've put together a list of a parts I might use on pcpartpicker, and I tried to avoid any potential bottlenecking. I would like to point out that this PC will be strictly for gaming, and no video editing or stuff like that. Is this a good gaming PC?

Keep in mind I don't have a monitor or peripherals.
Oh, and now for some Q and A.
Crossfire: No
Over clocking: No
Moderately heavy gaming (Bf3/4, GTA4, Crysis1,2,3, Minesweeper): Yes
My current setup is a family PC. D:
Mac OSX Mavericks
Intel Pentium Dual Core@3.0Ghz
8Gb ram (4x2gb) @1006mhz
Nvidia geforce gt 9400 256mb
21.3' 1080p Display
^This thing is slow. It's not even funny how slow this thing is. Intel's HD graphics 4000 beat the GPU. Why would you have 256 mb for a GPU? Dang it, apple. I've never even seen ram slower than 1066. It did come out around 2006, we got it refurbished in 2008.
