Hopefully I've posted this in the correct category:
I am looking to build a high end gaming computer that will have the capability to run games like Skyrim/Crysis 3 with maximum frame rates and on ultra settings across the board. I also would like to keep in mind future upgrades so that is a major factor in my component decisions. I have found a PC build that seems to cover the system requirements. My question is, does this build allow what I am looking for as far as gaming goes, are all the components compatible and will this build be easy to upgrade as future components become available. I'm pretty new to building a PC of this magnitude so any help is really appreciated. Here's the build (yes copy and pasted from a previous thread but I have done research on the components).
