Parts picking for gaming PC!

I am going to build my own gaming pc, the only problem is that i only have a very small idea of which components are the best for gaming, especially when my budget is around 1k - 1,2k USD.

 

I am going to play games like Crysis 3, Battlefield 3 & 4 and other games which requires a fine graphics card.

 

The parts so far: 

 

MSI Z87 - G45 Motherboard

 

Intel® Core™ i5-4670K Processor

 

MSI GTX 770 ( I am currently running a 2 screen setup, but i may want to upgrade to 3 screens in the future and run this card in a SLI formation)

 

G.skill ripjaws 2x4GB DDR3 Ram

 

Corsair CX750M Power supply

 

Corsair Carbide Series 500R Case

 

Seagate Barracuda 1TB Harddrive ( I don't want an SSD cause they are very expensive compared to HDD's in my country, getting and SSD will take a huge cut in my budget)

What resolution are your screen/screens you're planning on running? You may think about getting a 4Gb model of the GTX 770 if you're planning to use monitors with resolutions above 1080p.

Intel i5 3570K - ASRock Extreme4 - Corsair Vengeance 8Gb RAM - ASUS GTX 660 Ti - Samsung 840 250Gb SSD (OS-Games) - WD 750Gb HDD (Storage) - Corsair TX650W PSU - Corsair 300R

Wait for AMD 9000 series which Will be released in about a month, a bonus is that you get BF4 for free and some other games like watch dogs free with it

80% of BF3 maps dont go above 1.6GB Vram

only 1 specific scenario went up to 1.8GB Vram.

I just noticed this part. Where are you located, where are you shopping, and what's your actual budget in the correct currency?

Converting currencies when no necessary is not smart fyi. Prices and availability of parts vary.

I am located in Denmark, my actual budget is around 8000 Dkk. I am shopping at Cinemagic.dk because it is the cheapest website in my country, but i am also using pricerunner.dk, to check if any websites are cheaper

That seems as a very solid build, but wouldn't i loose a bit of perfomance, or does the SSD make up for that ?  :)

Btw, which website were you using ? :)

The build pretty much outperforms your original list in every way. This is Cinemagic.dk  which you said you were shopping from.
