Ok so this is my new build and i recently got a fella to pick the parts and he came up with this.... 

 

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1G9Al

 

I was wondering does everything fit properly and will it be good for games such as battle Field, Farming Simulator and other games at a high FPS rate and on Ultra settings.

 

Could i get anything better with my money or is that final

 

Thanks anyway.....

Umm you get a 7970 instead of a 7950 which will be better for gaming if your gaming with is

GPU is better, but it's more expensive and it doesn't include Windows. If you can stretch your budget a bit, it will be better to get the 7970, but the 7950 is fine if you want to keep it lower budget.

Stick to the PNY RAM, 8Gb 1600Mhz CL9, what else do you need, RAM is RAM after all :P

Exactly what would i benifit from getting a SSD..

What performance would i get out of it and what is it exactly :P

The hdd is the slowest part in your system and is the biggest bottleneck. Getting a ssd helps relieve that and everything becomes smoother from opening your applications to how smooth your browser is by removing a large chunk of your hdd's seek time. 

In short, it's the best part upgrade you can make for the money.

 

As for your build, it looks fine.
