I suggest buying an ssd when you can but those parts look good

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1AGFP, I made this a few days ago when trying to hit a $700 goal with as much performance as possible, if you want to check it out, that's $50 spare to add a soundcard maybe?

Build is good. 

 

Get seidon for 20 bucks, total STEAL ! http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rls12m24pkr1

Also get overclocking 7950 for 200 bucks, not the hot one amdgamer suggested

also with spare money you saved with gpu, get 3570 ! or 3570k you can overclock. not sure how seidon performs but you will be able to hit at least 4ghz

 

@DummyHeadGamer what do you think?

The cpu you recommended is very bad for gaming because slow clock cycles. Your minimum fps would suffer, and this is the one most noticable thing when you are gaming. Especially at sub 30 fps *shudders*

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll take them all into consideration. I plan to stick with the Intel i5 but i might get the AMD Radeon 7950 / 7970.

I disagree with that totally. The Intel Core i5-3350p is a very capable cpu. On Tom's Hardware it has won the last 2 months of best cpu for the price. It is a very capable cpu and i am sticking with it

Ofcourse, its very capable for its price, and the power consumption will keep your bill down.

Well you might as well go Haswell--it's not much more.

Well not really worth it. About same performance and $40-65 cheaper. Plus i don't need the onboard graphics on the cpu. Thanks for the suggestion tho

Oh ok, your talking about the i5-4430. Well the i5-3350p is a faster gaming cpu than the 4430 and it is a bit cheaper.

What are you talking about?

The 4430 is 0.1 ghz lower and has more instructions per clock so it's definitely faster...

Haswell also has better motherboards.
