For the RAM, have a dual channel 2 x 4GB set instead of a single 8 GB. For the GPU get a 760 with 2 GB for cheaper or a 770 with 2 GB for around the same price. It really doesn't make sense to get that extra VRAM when 1080p monitors won't use it and you should get a R9 290 or a 780 at the minimum if you plan to play on a 1440p monitor instead anyway. The rest looks fine to me.

This,though why get such a pricey wifi adapter. I am very ignorant when it comes to these things but I know people who have cheap $20-ish dollar ones and are quite happy with them (some even use wifi dongles). I use one that came with my Asus mobo and it works perfectly fine. I dont know your situation but that sounds like some cash to put towards a GPU. If you use consoles with wifi with no problems why spend $100 on an adapter

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I've never really had serious connectivity problems and I don't plan on this thing ever leaving my living room, so you're probably right about getting something more sensible.

I would maybe recommend putting that cash towards a GTX 770 2GB unless you would prefer to put it towards something else.

I recommended Gigabyte Windforce, EVGA w/ ACX Cooler, and Asus DirectCU II probably go with one with best price. If you want I can help you find a cheap and good wifi adapter around $20 dollars

Thanks for the recommendations, I'm going to go with the EVGA, actually. And I found a cheaper adapter, I think I'm almost set! Dude, thanks a lot for your help!

I came up with this after about three days of researching:

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/GreenvaleXYZ/saved/3w96

I consider this expensive; I normally buy pretty low-end stuff. I think I'm going to pass on the PS4 and Xbox One. I have a ton of older systems, and I have a Wii U, which I love, but I want a machine that's going to get me through the next 2-3 years on, I guess, medium to high settings for standard big releases, and just anything that floats my way and catches my eye. I love indies, might even get Star Citizen ( I'll get more RAM if I need to).

See any conflicts, or just dumb choices? Any help is greatly appreciated.
