looks spot on mate, i'd get the 650w corsair psu, energy efficient, reliable and looks ten times visually better than the non branded versions.

also get the warranty for a fiver.

Is the RAM ok on this because the 16gb of ram is not much more and i plan to record videos for youtube of these games ?

 

[tom_gr7]

8gig is fine, although, if you will be editing these videos as well? Then yes 16gb will be beneficial.

Hi there , im not farmiliar with the two games you have mentioned , but if your after high fps in general ( 60fps+ ) then i would suggest going with the radeon HD 7970 ( i presume you prefer ATI that is ) , this will give lots more performance in terms of fps that is , also i would go for the biggest psu you can possibly afford , this will give you plenty of headroom for multiple gpu setups in the future.

Some might call it overkill but there is nothing like not having to worry about power requirements & having more than you need results in a more stable & smooth power supply when the PSU is taxed - essential for SLI / crossfire setups ( i personally would reccomend SLI over crossfire myself)
