if you have a regular size computer case that supports atx motherboards and a graphic card length of 10.5" this will work fine
supports sli for ugrade path down the road with a bigger psu

here are some benchmarks for that card

pc gaming is superior to console gaming. even the new systems only have under a 760 equivalent gpu in them. pc gaming is worlds away

ok ill check out the evo cooler and i have been working on this list for about 3 days back and fourth fighting with it trying to get a good set up for 1000 dollars...i dont plan on being a hardcore gamer on here but you never know because when i first started last year i didnt care for it and after about a month of playing it and getting used to the mouse keyboard it became a very fun experience except for the lag in my laptop on games :( but with this build i feel like games will be easy to play with good fps

and wow both our builds are pretty dang close i am for certain i will go ahead and order my parts right now since we was so close with the parts list :) we had like to different things but i really like that you picked a board that supports the z87 chipset...i had a few others give me on my older post a cpu for overclocking and then a mother board that didnt overclock im not saying im going to overclock but if i do decide to once i get better with the computer i will atleast have that option thanks so much for your input and this is going to be my first build and im STOKED!!!

glad to help, you should also leave your options open so you dont have to spend as much money down the road.
with this you reserve option to overclock
reserve option to run sli 770 with bigger psu
reserve option to add 8gb of ram and a 4770k if you get a job that requires programing/heavy video rendering/heavy video editing
when games start utilizing hyperthreading you can bump up to a 4770k and be set

overall either of our build have good options for future endeavors
