Hi! This is my first time making a PC and I really need help to see if I choose the correct parts. I also want to know if this build is able to run games at max settings smoothly for example ArcheAge or Battle Field 4 my budget was $1500 but I can do anything less than $1570. Also what is overclocking and can this build do that if I want to later in the future? Here is the list :D Also I will probably buy this somewhere in December.
