First Game build look over

[modrnbattlefieldeffect]

Building my first pc and just wanted to know if all this worked together:

This will mostly be a gaming Pc with web browsing. I want to be able to run games like Battlefield 3, skyrim+mods, Total War, other demanding games on at least there moderate to highest setting.

I know next to nothing about overclocking, but would these components be able to oc?(i know i will need a heat sink fan, any suggestians?)

Is there anything here that i dont need, that could drop the price? Trying to gp for less than (1,000) but a little over is ok. Trying to keep it relativly cheap.

looks messed up in most ways but ill fix thing up

and it wont overclock due to the b75 chipset


here you go

you wont be able to afford a 680 at this budget range nor will i recommend one

there wont be a fancy case like the phantom but this case that i chose is solid and good for the money

there wont be crossfire since the power supply wont do it nor will the motherboard

overclocking should still be easy

I don't see any conflicting issues. I'm a bit surprised you are going with a Sandy Bridge processor on an IB board, but nothing wrong with that. If you're not going to O/C the CPU for awhile, you won't need an after-market cooler.

How much do you have left for a PSU? You could probably back off on the graphics card if you want to save some dough. What resolution is your monitor?

about 100-200, res = 1920x1080

do you want a monitor? id suggest the asus vs228h-p

and my build will perform nicely at 1080p

You won't max out a GTX 660ti or HD 7870/7950 with a single 1080p monitor. But 2G is probably recommended.
Look here for comparisons: http://www.hwcompare.com/13140/geforce-gtx-660-ti-vs-radeon-hd-7870/

One of the Seasonic or Corsair 80 plus silver or gold 600-700W would be a good PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007657%20600014022&IsNodeId=1&name=601W%20-%20700W
