Gaming/Multimedia Build Advice

Oakiesmokie · May 31, 2014

My current build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Kilmaurs/saved/m28j4D

Computer will be used for gaming, multimedia, web browsing, and photoshop.

My budget is $1300-$1400

I would like to play all current games on ultra/max settings. The SSD drive with be an O/S boot drive. I may also want to install 1 or 2 games on the SSD. In addition Microsoft Office will be put on the SSD.

Any advice on my current build would be greatly appreciated
