How's this look for my first gaming PC?

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4AqA

Looking into getting my first gaming PC. My goal is to have a computer than can run WoW, SWTOR, Skyrim, and BF3 at or close to maxed. I'm not sure how it'll go up against Skyrim and BF3. I plan to play in fullscreen 1920x1080. I'm going from a computer that can barely run WoW on low, it runs it at 20 FPS. So hopefully I picked some good parts. Suggestions?

Note - The PSU is for future proof. When my video card begins to age I will add another and SLI them.

No AA/AF im assuming, because BF3 is hard to max.

As long as I can at least get close I'll be happy.

its good. but do you know what your buying mouse-wise?

cooler master dont make good mice. i'd always go for a logitech mouse, a g400 would be better than that mouse and cheaper. g500 same price and better.

here is a nice gigabyte mouse:

classical ergonomic grip. good DPI, reliable brand, wired laser,and it has plenty of buttons and a tilt wheel. i recommend +1 over the far more expensive g500

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104318&Tpk=g500

which has a selective ergonomic design (meaning only certain individuals benefit from its design while others its counter productive), wired optical mouse with a higher dpi and an equal number of buttons. yeah your g500 is so useful (in specific cases)

[QUOTE="seercirra"][QUOTE="ionusX"] says the lvl 5.. however coolermaster isnt known for their mice logitech or razer ir steelseries or microsoft would make better mice than them. ooh gigabyte or ihome would also suffice

decent build though I don't know exactly how you managed to build a $1000 computer for $1200

This PC was approved by the Computer Hardware forum :P

I could save a bit of money if I didn't buy an OS (Which I have to have so I don't have a choice) mouse, and keyboard. I also have a bigger PSU then I needed for future SLI'ing.

That, and by the time I sell my old computer and monitor, Xbox 360 and games it'll only be around $700.

And to everyone else thanks for all the approvals. It took a bit of time and research to put this together, being my first PC build I wasn't too sure about the parts.

I've been wondering.. should I switch out the Patriot RAM with 8GB (2x4) of Corsair Vengeance RAM?

Looks great. But if you want better performance get a 448 core 560 ti.

In-store pickup only. Don't even have one of those stores in my state.

Oh I wish this stuff was around when I built my first gaming rig. This is all literally 2-8 times better than what I got for $1200 all those years ago...
