Ok... I won't lie I've never build a PC tower before and I've been on consoles since the first nintendo.. The reason we want to go PC is because me and my wife like mods very much and other PC game aswell. We think it brings a new element to gaming as dumb as that sound... Anyways I've been searching alot about PC gaming towers and what there is to offer... My wife likes mostly the online multiplayer game like DnD and RS(Dungeons & Dragons, Rune Scape and Nancy Drew) general games like that... I like those to but i aslo like CoD Zombies Skyrim and RPG's(I'm the biggest RPG fan ^.^)... To the point i want to know if this is good for are needs including watching movies and youtubing and surfing the web in general (normal computer hobbies)^.^
I know the 770 and 780 are alot better then the 760 (like 10% to 20%) but for are needs i think its the best.. We were looking to play the older games on ultra to high and the new games on medium to high maybe x2 aa or higher witch we don't really care...
Last question 4G for GPU is better for mods and multi-screen so would a 2G or 4G be best for a single 23 in 1920x1080 monitor screen..(We'll be only using one screen if anything later on we'll use a 30 to 34 in screen) Most mod will be for Skyrim and Oblivion as me and my wife love these to games to death...(Side note is why i picked intel)

Thank You all who have taken time to read and answer are question...
(Are income tax was lost but got find final and we are to get it at the end of May witch will be when we make are purchase)
[We need all Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse and PC tower... Are budget is 1200] Had a laptop but its close to its end...
Ahhh..... sorry last question will this be good enough to play online with other people like DnD, RS and elder scrolls online and zombie(L4D, CoD and Z-Day) games like that..(Game settings medium to High with good FPS)
SSD and upgrades will be in the future
No: SLI or Crossfire til most games can run on them (what I've seen isn't that great with two GPU)
Once again Thank you all...(looking for 35 to 65 FPS newer games.....online older games 60 FSP or higher and No More Crash like are laptop)
