I am in the market for a gaming rig. I would love to just get the core components so far and to future proof it a little (no such thing as future proofing with computers I know) I would like to play various games on steam, Bf4 whenever that may come out, Guild Wars 2, also used for school and such and watching videos online. What do people think of the list I have set up. I would like to build this myself with the help of my Uncle who has experience building computers (yet to ask him on this build thought I would go here first. I went to Pcpartpicker to select parts. This overkill for a system its right around the price range I would like to spend.
No need for Monitor I will use my Sony bravia tv, no mouse keyboard or keyboard needed.
