Thoughts and suggestions?? Will the Grahics Card have any size trouble with board? Etc, thanks

This is a gaming build? Your ram is WAY off. Get 8GB of 1600MHz ram - that's the sweet spot. (And even with battlefield three, photoshop, and 50 tabs in chrome all at once? You won't need more than 8GB.)

Do you honestly need 3TB of storage? Get an SSD for your OS and a 1TB drive for data.

Bad pick on the OS, as well. If you really want windows 8, get an OEM copy of the Home Premium - if not, get an OEM copy of windows 7 home premium for about $84. Good job making sure it was a 64 bit copy, though.

Why do you need to waste money on a Blu-Ray Drive? Think about how often you even use normal CD's, then think about how often you would watch Blu-Rays on your PC instead of another device... is that REALLY worth an extra $40?

You don't need even close to 1000w, and it's bad to get a power supply way too large for your computer. If you had two graphics cards, I'd suggest 800w. Since you have one, go with a 600w PSU of good quality.

As for your processor, you might just like AMD, and I respect that. However, you can buy an i5 intel solution for the same price that would slaughter that AMD chip for gaming. Just something to consider.

^ i second the i5 choice

too many people whining in this forum about how their amd cpu bottleneck their gpu performance
