If your goal is to play Crysis 3, buy a 8320/8350. They're cheaper and perform better in Crysis3. For the mobo go for something with the 990FX chipset. The RAM you listed is a bit pricey, you can save some money there.

If your main goal is strictly gaming, you can save the money on the SSD and get a better GPU with the money you saved - Get a HD7870 and OC it.

yea i wouldn't worry so much about the ssd. That should be the last thing you upgrade, everything will load faster but that's it and i'm willing to be playing at better frame rates and higher resolutions is a lot more beneficial to a gaming experience. And as stated above Ram is about the same thing, you can get really cheap DDR 3 1600 ram by Kingston or partiort even corrsair. Along the lines of just crisis yes AMD is the way to go, its better bang for your buck cpu wise almost always. with anymore you save why not get a second 650ti? then you can run those bad boys in SLI with your new mobo cpu and ram which will make crisis smooth as butter!

Hey Agons ty for tips i guess the GTX 650 TI doesn't work in SLI mode D: about the ram i will buy hyper X ram by Kingston ow here were i live Portugal we have this shop that sell's computer hardware the price of the AMD is more expensive AMD - 220 and Intel i5-3570k - 219,9 so that's why i want to go with the intel one but i guess 10 cents doesn't really make deferenced .

And i think that i will skip the SSD and buy a Corsair H80i
