I feel that this is a well-rounded PC for me, and I was wondering what you guys think. When I'm not doing homework or browsing the web, I'll be playing GTA: San Andreas, Spiral Knights, Portal (1 and 2), and some BF4. I won't be playing at 1080p ATM, but instead 1280x1024, until I can save up and get a 1080p monitor.

Why Windows 8.1? The driver support still isn't there for it...

Whoops. Meant to put 8. I just searched Windows 8 and that was the first that came up.  :P

I guess if your monitor is that low resolution you won't need a better graphics card.

That'll probably run bf4 on ultra at that resolution

I had also planned on getting 1080p monitor with at least 1 7970.

 

The best part is, at the current prices, I'll get it in like 3 months.

Also, might want to take a gander at the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 instead of the Sabertooth, does the same thing pretty much?

Green is my color though. And I'm an ASUS person.

Get one of these instead of the two WD drives and spend rest on gpu

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st2000dm001

Only reason I got the 2 WD's is one for OS, one for all of my crap. I might throw in an SSD, though.

No and no. The 212 Evo comes with good paste.

Okay. And I use 2 HDD's because one is for my OS and programs, the other is for all of my crap.

A ssd should be used for your programs and os. 

I'd recommend that and a 3TB mass storage hdd.
