If you care, you can get the same performance fin games for a lot less money... the biggest ticket is that i7 - it will have within 2-3 of the FPS of an i5 for a LOT less.

i7 is overkill
Get an i5.
and jrgong is right, 7970 > 670/680
You have the money spend a bit more for RAM that's clocked at a different speed.
Also, That motherboard is ready for trifire/sli, if you want to do that, get a better PSU.
if not, downgrade motherboards.

you need Plextor M5P 128 SSD
16 GB 2400 G.Skill Trident
ditch the 670 for a Vapor X 7970Ghz 3GB

there a complete highend masterpiece!
