Hello everyone from Tom's! This is my first post here, Please be nice to me (^_^)/
==========================
Approximate Purchase Date: July 2013
Budget Range: $1000 After Shipping
System Usage: Gaming > Movie
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: staticice.com.au, pccasegear.com
Location: Melbourne (Metro), Victoria, Australia.
Parts Preferences: No
Overclocking: Yes (CPU)
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I love playing first person shooter games. Battlefield 3 Multiplayer is my favourite, and the motivation for this build is the upcoming Battlefield 4 in November 2013. My number one concern is Performance/Price. By Performance, I strictly mean the Frame Rate I'm getting and the smoothness of the actual online gameplay.
==========================

First of all, could you find any flaw in terms of the compatibility? Secondly, are the parts reasonably priced? At last, could I achieve better perf./price without further stretching the budget?
I also have a headphone, Shure SRH440 impedance: 44ohm, do I need a sound card for this?
Please feel free to leave a comment, thanks =]
