What are you planning to do on this computer? Is your maximum budget $1700?

your build is old. yur better off going with a 4690k and a better gpu.if yur got going to sli or crossfire drop the 1200w to a 850w gold unit and put in a ssd in the build. the older 2011 mb been replaced with newer x99 mb that use ddr-4 ram.

Instead of i7 4820 and Asus P9 X79, get i5 4690k and ASRock Z97 Extreme 4 and save $300.

With that money, get an ASsus GTX780 instead of the GTX760

Get 2 x 4gb 1866 1.5v cl9 ram instead

Get Seasonic 620, XFX650 or Antec HCG 520M instead of 1200W FSP

You won't need a sound card. The current mobos have excellent sound.

With putting that much money into your build you will be able to get a decent top of the line computer that can run games smoothly. Like smorizio said, I would look into getting a SSD. The way I have mine set up is OS on SSD(128GB) and then I put my games and applications on a 10k HDD.

Thanks for the comments and help so far will look into current suggestions just curious if I got this PC right though like if it will all work together see if I'm on the right path

Put it into PartPicker. That'll help a lot with compatability issues.
