I do not plan to spend anymore money, if you can find something less and just as effective, that'd be great. This is a gaming PC that I plan to order and build. Do you think it could run new games like BF3, Skyrim, and high demanding games - on what settings do you think it could run them at? Any compatibility issues - are the compatibility issues from pcpartpicker legit?

Anyway, here it is!

Well, I have the exact same hardware (3570k@4.3Ghz, Sapphire HD7870 @1150Mhz Core, 5500Mhz memory) and am getting quite good performance at 1080p (everything Ultra, DX11 and high res texture pack). Averaging around 40FPS with occasional dips to the low 30's when something big happens on screen.

I know you guys will probably say try it yourself


Well good thing thats out of the way, you know us too well.
No reason why you cant build your own, its all rather simple to do. Its largely just matter of plugging everything into the right places and turning a screwdriver. I should know because I just today disassembled my machine, cleaned it, emptied my water loop, filled it back up , put it all back together and am using it now. You will want to dedicate a day to do it, as it can take a while. Here are some good build guides.
