I am going to be building my first computer soon, these are the parts I'm looking at http://pcpartpicker.com/p/kRskyc will there be any problems with this, anything unusual that I would need to expect? What would my bottleneck be? What temps should I expect? This is going to be a hardcore gaming pc. (Arma 3, Battlefield 4, DayZ...)
