This totals to about $1000 which is what im looking at spending. This will be my first build so i figured i would "spell check" if you will. Basically im set on the 2011 mobo but everything else is pretty expendable. My uses will be some heavy gaming and basic computer functions. I plan on playing battlefield 4 and some other big titles like this. I would like to run ultra with decent frame rate like upper 20s. I did have a more expensive build plan that included 32gb ram, r9 280x, 1000w corsair psu, and 4820k i7. But that totaled to like 1500+ so i decided to downgrade a little. From the list do you notice any bottlenecking? are these components really necessary for a gaming pc or can i downgrade further? Also i already have a case and what not. and i havent included thermal compound or case fans in the list but they are there. Also any recommendations as to which components you suggest for a 800-1000 dollar build would be nice. I do plan on sticking with an i7 and i would like to stick with lga 2011 just to have some future proofing going. everything else im open to opinion. As a final note im looking at buying these items on blackfriday/cybermonday so if you know of any cool deals that would be great! Thanks in advance and hopefully by the new year ill see some of you on the battlefield:)

If you want to do a lot of gaming I would suggest getting a 7970 or even a 7990. For gaming an i7 is not required by any means (but the hyperthreading may help in some titles)
