Sorry for making a new thread about my PC build but I want to make sure that this build is going to be flawless. So this is my list of parts. Can someone tell me if everything is compatible and will work good for gaming?

My budget is $1300 and this costs $1200. I'm mostly worried about the video card not being strong enough for my gaming needs.

Thanks for all your help!

It is not compatible due to your choice of CPU. Instead of an i7-3770k, you want an i7-4770k. They are pretty much the same price, but the 4770k is the newer model. Besides that, you have a GREAT looking build there! :)
