Building a sub 1200 PC. This is my current arrangement. I'm not afraid of building a PC myself, but I just can't seem to get as much bang for my buck as I am getting from Cyberpower's MarchMadness sale. Any suggestions about the build with regards to improvements or down grades would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced guys. No overclocking, and maybe SLI in the distant future.

Building for Planetside2, MGS, GTAV, BF-h and if possible Arma3
