Hi guys, I currently am researching components for my first build. My budget is around 1300-1500 USD, and I won't be building/buying all of the parts until around August.
I plan on using this build for gaming. To be more specific, I would love for it to handle Watch Dogs, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Shadow of Mordor on Ultra.
Here it is:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Hero ATX LGA1150
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" SSD (for OS), Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM (for data)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB Superclocked ACX
Case: Corsair 550D ATX Mid Tower Casewer
Power Supply: Corsair 850W
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
I did some research, and I know the 850W for the PSU is overkill, but I chose that because when the time comes for Witcher 3 to be released, I am more than likely going to get another GTX 780 card for an SLI set up, considering how demanding that game looks, so I would rather buy the larger battery now than having to get a new one. I'm also considering getting 16GB ram instead of 8 because I love to multitask and will end up having 3 monitors hooked up.
I would love for your guys' input if you think this setup will be decent to run the next couple of years in High-Ultra. Feedback/criticism is welcome, and any suggestions/tips for a first time builder would be awesome as well!
Edit--Here is the PC Part Picker List:

Thanks!
