So, this is my first time building my own nerd cove (PC), I got the components, but still don't know if it will actually do its best. Also if you could recommend me a power supply that would be great :). Here are the parts:

GPU: EVGA Gtx 780 SC w/ ACX
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670k
MOBO: Gigabyte GA z87x d3h
RAM: 8 GB
STORAGE: 1TB Seagate HDD
OS: Windows 8.1 (64 bit)
Power: Recommend one please :)

I really want it to run next-gen stuff above the 80 fps and really stable, can I get that with this setup?

Hmm...I would highly recommend using an Intel Processor. I've been trying to put together a spec sheet for you but I can't seem to get the price under wraps.

The power supply I would recommend is the one @SR-71 Blackbird recommended. (...

Hey There! You'll most certainly be able to run just about anything with that video card. You'll just need the components to back it up!

What kind of price range are you looking to stick with? With that video card...you can go crazy awesome or just awesome next generation computing.

(First Time using these forums) My budget is of $1200, also, will it be better an FX processor or an Intel one.

I have one of those myself on another computer and I have no complaints with it.

If you can...I would recommend getting a 128GB SSD or some size like that to put your Operating System on, it will really help with your startup and shutdown times. 8GB of RAM should get you by...but I would of liked to of recommended 16GB of RAM but I couldn't see how I could fit that in the $1200 budget.

Other than that...enjoy and have fun!
