This is my parts list:http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1Rzhc Thank you,balleLooks quite good, but I might opt for a better CPU cooler if you're gonna be doing any overclocking. Get a Noctua (all of them are pretty good, just keep in mind your ram hight and room in the case) if you want air cooling, or for liquid you could get a number of things but the Corsair H60 and H80i are very nice. -NR Quote

Also, I'd like to know if the case and motherboard look big enough to cram all of my components in to it.I added a Noctua as well. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1S2ZA Edited October 23, 2013 by balle Quote

Just one more question.. WIth these specs, what performance can I get out of the build with at least High/Medium settings?Do you think I could run it really fluidly? Thanks! Balle Quote
Ntr09 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 I do indeed think it will run quite well, I would expect on high-ish settings to get at least 70fps in rural areas and around 25 in super urban areas like Atlanta. I recently upgraded to a GTX 660Ti and though it's a bit slower than the 760 I am quite satisfied, my CPU is now the main bottleneck. -NR Quote
