So GTA 5 for pc is coming out next week. I know the specs are released but id like opinions from the masses. Please no- maybe at low. Because I know enough to see threw that.

(If you have any ideas of what i should change, tell me but keep in mind. I am determined to keep this build under $700. Thank you.)

Here's the build link:

If you intend on overclocking, then a better motherboard is a must. I would in fact recommend a better motherboard for that cpu even at its stock clock rates. Those motherboards have a habbit of burning vrm's.
perhaps go with an i5 build, it will be faster for gaming even without ability to overclock
