That computer is $1700?

i would change to the i5- 3570k, z77 setup.

definately change the RAM to 4gb x 2 config.

i have that exact same video card (for budget reasons) but if you are willing to spend up to 1700 (my budget was 1000), i would go with a better card, say a 670.

I agree. Go with i5-3570K and Z77. It's more than enough for gaming. Spend the money you save on a cheaper CPU on a better GPU and/or a SSD for OS and most used programs (I recommend Crucial m4).
