I would like to game with titles such as Crysis, Far Cry, and Battlefield. I am fine with spending this much but not much more. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Agree with @nerdslayer1 I would get a cheaper PSU. Look for a 500w instead.

 

You can simply search up power supply calculator on google for more tweaks, counting in for overclocks your Computer would only need about 400W so 650W is just not needed.

 

Other then that, looks good.

Motherboard is fine tbh, using it myself and it can handle the 1600 at 3.8ghz easily. Haven't tried higher as I'm still on the stock cooler. As for the ram that's high enough, my 3200 he corsair RGB is only able to run at 2933mhz on that board, so 2800mhz won't make much difference. 

 

Agree that the power supply is definitely too expensive though, take a look at the G2/G3 by EVGA, same wattage is about $20-30 cheaper.

Get a SeaSonic Prime Or Corsair RMx that is cheaper

 

it looks good by not looking at the psu

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later
