Hello

I'm looking at buying a new computer (which I will be building myself). For a few months I've been wanting to build my own but I haven't had enough money to build the one I want (since I want to play games such as DayZ, Farcry 3, Battlefield 4 etc. on high detail and without issues).

I'm looking at getting a Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 XT 2GB video card for it and a Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor as well. Will that be enough to run the games I'd like to play on high settings without issues?

On another note, which site should I buy these? Unfortunately, I live in Canada and the prices of Newegg.com & Newegg.ca are much different. I heard amazon has some great sales as well but I'd like to purchase both of these for a discounted price if I can.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section but thank you in advance.

Yeah that'll run games well. I do however have some recommendations:
1. Go with the 4670k and a Z87 board if you can. The 3570k has no upgrade path whereas the 4670k will.
2. You need a copy of windows.

Other than that, looks cool! Very jealous. :D

Ahh I'm dumb! I didn't know pcpartpicker had a canadian version so thank you very much. And will I be fine with the 7870 (since the 670 is much more)?

Sorry, I'm a noob to most of this. :p

This is my build so far: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/2byij.

This will be my first PC build and I don't have anything else (except headphones and an ethernet cable). Is there anything else I will need and are all of those parts compatible? Also, will it be able to run games on high settings (such as Arma 3, Battlefield 4, etc.)?
