Is this a good build for a gaming desktop? - Joshua H. - 03-24-2014 10:46 AM

This is my first build, but I know what I am doing and have a few experienced friends to help me too. I'm going to build a sub-$850 gaming desktop, and I want to be able to play the newest games with decent frame rate for ~3-4 years. This is what i'm thinking of getting: pcpartpicker.com/user/joshiboi108/saved/3pcb
Note that the CPU and mobo are a combo deal at Microcenter costing $150 for both. Suggestions (different parts, etc.)? Should I get >1600MHz RAM? I'm willing to pay ~$30 more if it makes any difference, and I will be using WIFI primarily (oh well...).
Thanks,
Josh
My parts list link didn't work... http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2zzlN
NBSN: Thanks, however I did look into that. Apparently, it is very unlikely to happen. Even if it did happen, it would be an easy fix.

Did you check the parts are compatible because on the link there is a large banner saying they might not work together? What about an optical drive?
