That's my price point. I love performance and fps, plus if it's quicker; woo! Upgrading from my old computer ( dell xps) and I want to start fresh. I want to run Witcher 3, Skyrim with some nice mods, and Minecraft shaders pack without it being 20 fps, like with my Dell.

Hmmm if you want to play mine craft sky rim. Hmmm that's easy an 1100 dollar rig can do just fine. amd GPu are great but they easily overheat so I reccomend a Gtx 770 or 780 even these cards are really great I would get them from evga if I were you. minecraft even with shaders is still not that demanding
