and with your list of parts how will this computer run?
 
Very comfortable on high settings with 50+ FPS and decent 40+ FPS on Ultra. Alot better than FX 6 + GTX 660. You can OC FX 8 to match i5's performance, whereas the FX 6 is like vs i3. GTX 760 is more like GTX 670, and definately better than GTX 660. You can expect high-ultra on any latest title :)
