For what you're paying for a GTX 760 isn't what I would called a worthy build. Your basically throwing your money away for getting that system.

Wow thanks, that looks far better than what I was thinking, I was thinking too much about processor Ghz rather than the video card and other components. Thanks a lot for your time i will definitely be following that list. :)

I just built a computer for about the same, here's my build:

CPU: Intel i7 4770k (Much faster than the AMD processor you have selected)
Motherboard: MSI MPower Max (Kind of overkill)
GPU: Asus R9 280X
Memory: G.Skill RipJaw something or other 1866MHz
Storage: Kingston v300 120gb
Storage: WD Black Series 1TB
Case: Corsair 400r (Doors are a tad flimsy)
PSU: Corsair HX750 (Overkill unless you plan to SLI/Fire Bridge)
Optical Drive: LiteOn DVD Burner
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14

Glad to help :)

@Niko boy
Your build is good too, but there are some items that isn't worth getting and others just cost too much when, there are similar items for a lot less. With some more practice, you'll get better at it. :D

I see that the post is old but Intel is not always faster. It depends on what your planing on playing or doing.
