Critique? Changes you would make?
Possible SLI in the late future
Don't need to OC
Don't need crossfire

Budget gaming, including the OS.
I would prefer to somehow lower the price if it was possible~

Upgrading in the future~

very good indeed

if u are not nvidia fanboy, you might want consider 7870 at sub 200

and you picked cas 9 ram, it is expensive for negligible performance gain. you can lower it to cas 10 or 11

Cheaper CPU, without integrated graphics, but you dont need it anyway as you're getting gtx 660 and it's power consumption is lower.
