Looking for thoughts on a Midrange Gaming PC under $1,400

[timoteob]

What do you all think of this for a PC to be used for Moderate gaming (Civ V, Dragons Age II, and X-Com). My max price is $1400. No plans for over clocking or SLI.

Is there a need for 2 separate 2TB hard drives. If not then I suggest getting:

It could save around $20.

Unless you really need the 4TBs of storage, drop one of the drives and put the money to a better graphics card, either the 760 or 770.
Also do you have a power supply picked out?

Gam3r01, hjj174:

Thanks for the input. Sorry, I should have spelled this out in my original post; the reason for the dual 2TB hard drives is I am setting up a RAID1 for redundancy for my data. I've got too many pics and movies of the kidos to trust to one hard drive. I have a cloud backup solution, but I don't upload as often as I should.

Not sure what happened with the power supply, for some reason it did not save on my last go around with pc part picker. Please see updated version below:

If you must use two HDDs that can work fine. The rest of the build is solid.

Gam3r01,

Thank you for your advice.
