Hello. I'm looking to get a new PC. I'll be using it mostly for gaming and for some video recording. I'm interested in playing games like STALKER: Call of Pripyat with Misery mod, Wolfenstein: The New Order and Shadow Warrior at 1080p 60fps with the highest possible settings. I am wonderning if this is a good enough build for it and if there is anything to change(maybe a different motherboard and i7 CPU) I also don't intend on overclocking.

Motherboard: Asus H87-PLUS ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($111.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($81.87 @ OutletPC)
