This is going to be the second build I have ever done, I'm just looking for any advice to make it better, or any critiques in general.

Approximate Purchase Date: Next two weeks

Budget Range:1200$ after rebates/shipping

System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming is priority, then surfing web, then just general use

Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts to Upgrade: New build from scratch

Do you need to buy OS:no

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg and amazon are preferred

Overclocking: Probably not

SLI or Crossfire: no

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080

Additional Comments: Mainly I want my PC to be able to run the latest games with high to best quality graphics and still get great fps

Thanks very much!
