I plan on buying a computer that can run almost every game on ultra settings. I had my friend pick me out some parts but was wondering how good these parts actually were. http://gyazo.com/0f09dba1893ec977f9f20ff908c4d3d5 these are the parts in a picture. thats the easiest way i could think of showing you. Thanks in advance!

You don't need 16gb of ram and the 770 is very overpriced. PNY isn't a bad company but they aren't amazing either and right now 770 are even as low as $300. The case is also overpriced the 200r and 300r gets discounted down to $40 frequently. The difference between them and 400r isn't major. I've never heard of firepower and that PSU is super overpriced you should get around 550-600W from Seasonic or XFX which should cost you $50. The rest are okay they're just a bit more expensive than other sites but ya :3

Edit: And you don't have a harddrive to put in your extra games
