I'm looking to buy parts for a gaming pc soon. I've done a lot of research trying to come up with something that will meet my needs but won't be too expensive (trying to keep the cost around $1000). Here's what I've got: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2azja

I'd like to be able to play games like Minecraft, Skyrim, CoD, BF4 -- basically anything that I throw at it -- at good FPS and in good quality. 1080p gaming would be nice if possible, but it's not a necessity.

So my main questions are: Is this a good build? Are the parts all compatible? Did I select quality parts? Are their any important tweaks I could make?

Any opinions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

True, I could do that but likely only if the other parts I have selected stand as is.



I forgot to mention that I won't be overclocking. Is another cooler really important if I won't be overclocking?

And how big of a performance jump is it from a GTX 760 to a 770?

No, if you are not going to OC, then the stock CPU cooler will be enough.



Big enough, you won't have problem playing at 1080p high settings

That would be really good! :) You don't really need a cooler because you aren't overclocking!
If you can afford a bit more get a

Awesome! So apart from the video card, all the other parts I selected are good quality and will work well together? Thanks for your help!
