Nice choice! :bounce:
That PowerColor Radeon HD7870 enough for latest games in higher settings.
Motherboard supported for crossfirex, So u can add more any time.

Nope, actually, I think that's damn near a perfect build for your price point. Any cheaper and you'd lose performance. (Except that you probably don't really need the fans. I think that's a decent enough case.)

kaels is right, but if u don't need to overclock your CPU then go for i5 3570. Then get Asrock H77 Pro4/MVP(Tom’s H/W $500 Gaming PC recommendation) if u no plan for SLI. After that u can save for Radeon HD 7950. I just think! :na:

If u think your CPU can't get across with hd 7950 then go for hd 7870 ghz edition.
with hd 7870 your psu can hold to 2x but hd 7950 would not.

Why don't u get 2 x 8 GB to get free slots for next time u want more RAM. It seem you climb for NVidia card now.
I don't know what in your mind. If u like this build just confirm it your self.
