Good CPU. Motherboard is OK. I wouldn't overclock with it. I'm a fan of ASRock but the Extreme3 has a 4+1 power phase design, which is pretty weak. Typically, more power phases = higher, more stable clocks and lower temperatures. For the same price as the 670 GTX , you can get a 770 GTX which is more powerful than a 680 GTX. PSU is garbage.

Again, the Intel build I posted is way better. If you want an AMD build, here's one of my quick builds.

Do you need an OS, mouse, keyboard, hd etc?

What you are asking for isn't impossible but Crysis 3 is arguably the most PC intense game on the market. Keep that in mind. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crysis-3-performance-benchmark-gaming,3451-5.html

And there's room for a standard HD and case. But again, I think you need to read the Crysis 3 review that I posted. This computer will do OK but that's only if MSAA is turned down. The moment MSAA is cranked up, you can watch the frames drop. I would stick with the Intel builds. The i5 has an higher minimum frame rate than the 8350.

Good luck.

You need to go with Intel build, I made the mistake of nearly going for AMD myself, Intel is more energy efficient and all round better IMO. You will get more bang for your buck with an intel build over AMD

I would have to go with "barto's" 1st build, the gpu which was chosen is high end and Intel processes are better than AMD with single threaded processing, If you are stil after saving money go with AMD build they are both good builds.

Also, if you are not planning on overclocking then you should be able to scrap the 3rd party CPU cooler as the CPU comes with one.

That being said if you are playing games all the time and worried about over heating, then the cooler is a small price to pay, keep that in mind :)
