[Tradesman1]

Good looking rig, on the CPU, for the same price could go with say an Asus 7970 for a little more power from the GPU

 

[iNova]

Cool build, but I would go for a GTX760 or a 7970.

 

[iNova]

Also, I wouldn't recommend Windows 8, as it overall sucks. Its not designed for PC. Its designed for Tablets. So I would recommend Windows 7.

 

[StarTrek2013]

I dislike the metro interface but there is a slight advantage to 8 in terms of gaming plus it has better startup and shutdown times aswell as better security.

 

[iNova]

For the startup and shutdown times.
Just get an SSD.
Security just get a good Anti-Virus

 

[The Q6660 Inside]

This is perfect. Also, I am using a quality PSU also known as the Corsair AX860 (one tier below your AX860i) and Seasonic X850-KM3.
