Your thoughts on this sub-$700 gaming build?

[gary king]

I'm performing my first build with this computer. My primary computer is an iMac, so this computer will solely be for gaming, and nothing else. I'm trying to keep the price around $700 or lower. I figure that AMD, especially when it comes to sub-$100 CPUs, are better than Intel; is that right?

Also, I figure I should spend most of the money in the GPU, so I got a pretty good GPU, I think. I'm trying to build something that can play, say, Metro: Last Light in Ultra in 1080p / 1920 x 1080.

So, your thoughts on my build?
