New to building desktops and to the forums

[Curit45]

I'm looking to buy a brand new computer since my current one is now completely out of date for gaming (been using a shoddy laptop for years now that never excelled for gaming) but this round of games the fps has become horrid...

Im sure that the power in a lot of these are jumpy so I'm hoping that you guys will help me even it out so im not bottle necking or getting something thats way way to overkill for another piece.
Im hoping to play games that are out now at high settings and maybe next tier games at medium settings (so not looking for a computer that is god and will run everything with 300 background applications up)

And maybe video streaming (Maybe) or video recording (maybe) but it doesnt have to run at top tier when doing these things

Im looking to spend 1,200 at most (but is flexible with the right arguments) and here is what i have so far

(Again some things are overkill and others probably need to be better. Help me out)

So far...

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I74770

Video Card: EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2765-KR GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card

Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Gaming Motherboard

Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL
(I plan on upgrading ram with an 8x2 for a total of 24GB and another upgrade if needed later on down the road)

Hard Drive: Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD5000HHTZ 500GB 10000 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive - OEM

Power Supply: CORSAIR CX series CX750 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

(Unsure if this is to much or to little power been trying to figure that out)

Then was curious if any of you guys could suggest a good tower to home it all in.

Sorry for the probably nooby post. Ask anything else you want to know...


Games im going to be playing - WildStar / ESO
Then whatever single player games come out for the pc
