1st suggestion .... list ya components ... add links if so inclined but few will wanna risk RSI checking all ya links.
CPU is 2 generations old and besides not being socket compatible isn't saving you any money. You are spending $435 and this current generation combo from same MoBo line is just $10 more
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?Ite...
$150 is as a lot on HD space ... for $35 less you could have a 2 TB with a build in SSD that will boot ya box in 16.5 seconds as opposed to a HD's 21.2 and a SSD's 15.6. Avoid HDs like the WD Blue which sit in 63rd place on THGs hardware charts
Avoid single sticks, ya want 2 x 4GB. Faster memory, lower price
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
$87 - 10% off w/ promo code EMCPAPF35, ends 9/10 = $78.30
I'd read the reviews on the 760 before buying the EVGA
9.0 Rating EVGA
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/GTX_760_SC_ACX_...
9.2 rating MSI
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GeForce_GTX_760_...
9.1 Rating Asus
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_760...
That 912 is a bit long in the tooth.... and no USB 3 Ports
