Need a Review on Components

BrentPlaysGames · November 30, 2013

Hi, I am planning on building my first gaming PC and I would like a review of my system components(P.S. my budget is $650 not including OS). I would like to run and record these games(play 60 fps, record 30 fps), Skyrim on max with lighting and texture mods, bf4 max, and Simcity 2013 max. Also, how hot would the CPU get. If it would get hot what aftermarket CPU cooler would you recommend. Any advice welcome, I could use some tips on building in this case. Thank you in advance, Brent.

Part list(I have my case, psu, and monitor):
