New PC Rig

[Teal4]

Hi, I'm going to build a PC to play games such as Crysis and Empire: Total War on, on mid- to high-settings.

How does this setup look? Any advice on cheaper or more efficient parts is very appreciated. Thanks.

Are you planning on doing Crossfire in future? If not then that power supply is overkill; go for the Corsair VX550 if that is the case.

Good choice on everything else.

Are you planning on overclocking? That CPU+mobo combination is great for OCing.
