Is this a good gaming build?

[thebattalion]

So yeah I want to play games on the pc at like max graphics (ultra settings) with a steady 50-60 fps. Here is my current build so far and also feel free to change some things. My budget is $1500 since im not that rich . I also think i'll be buying everything from Micro Center since there in my neighborhood.

I'd get either a GTX670 or a HD7970 for Ultra at 1920x1080.

So other than that, the build look okay?

In a word, yes.

If you want to save cash, drop the H80 for a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO. The closed loop coolers are fairly pointless against air cooling unless you go all out and get a H100, even then its debatle. The 212 EVO will hold a good overclock on the 3570k.

Dont bother with the 680, its a 5% performance increase for $100 over the 670. Also dont get EVGA, reference design cooling runs louder and hotter.
Gigabyte GTX670. $400

Within a degree of the Crappermaster Hyper 212 EVO but 6db quieter, and doesn't support a dishonest company, AND is only $20: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233082
Diamond is another company on my "Do Not Buy" list for general incompetence all around. MSI, XFX, Sapphire, or HIS are the graphics card companies I'd choose.
