Would this be a good gaming build?

[FirstPcBuild]

Hello,
- AMD FX 8350 4.0ghz Stock Heatsink
- ASUS Crosshair V Formula - Z
- Corsair Vengeance 8gb 2133Mhz
- ASUS HD 7870 DirectCu ii 2gb GDDR5
- OCZ 750w Fatal1ty Series Power Supply
- Western Digital 500gb Caviar Green
- Lite-On 24x Internal Drive DVD /-RW
All in a Saturn Midi ATX Gaming Case....
Would this be a good setup or is there anything you would change?

That will game really well

if you will only use one graphics card then you could use a lower wattage psu . 550 watts would be plenty
I like the Gigabyte windforce 7870 more . It runs cooler than the ASUS and is quieter , but the ASUS is also a quality unit

Dont listen to the intel fanboys who will be telling you you buy an i5

You have to understand that the i5-3570k is the best gaming CPU right now.

Still the 8350 ain't no slouch.

What he said. Just get whichever you can afford.

Something like this would be cheaper and AFAIK better or similar perf unless you were planing to go tri xfire/sli
Using faster ram though dunno why you want it, 1600mhz is pretty good already
Add the 212 EVO if OC
Don't use a green drive
550W PSU is enough
