Building first PC. I still need windows8/keyboard&mouse. But as far as putting together a working computer will I need anything else here.

Core i5 3570k

Ram = G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3

24x dvd burner

seagate baracuda 7200 rpm 1 tb

corsair 750w power supply

SAPPHIRE 100352-4L Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 with boost

MSI Z77A-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

COOLER MASTER Elite 430 RC-430-KWN1 Black Steel / Plastic Computer Case

Right now I am at 970 price wise.

I would like to put together my first computer for my college graduation gift. I have a pretty good knowledge of how to put it together but would like you guys to help me maximize my money so if you wouldn't mind specing one out for me from new egg or something with a cool case. The budget is no more than 1000 US dollars not including the monitor. This needs to include a copy of windows 8 but leave room in the price for keyboard and mouse (you don't have to pick one out for me just leave room in the build to include those for under 1000. Thanks for any help!

Theres really not that many cutscenes in uncharted. Not sure why so many people say this. At least not compared to MGS.

-Graphics were way inferior to the PC version which they showed off. The graphics were pretty poor on consoles IMO. DICE and EA tricked a lot of people with those trailers they showed of the PC version, and then the console version came out and looked bad.

-32 player battles on huge maps = boring and no action. 

-Lots of patches meant they screwed up with the original game. Sorry, but I want a game that works decently when I buy it.... not 6 months later. 

-Snipers were helpless against Vehicles. No C4, no Mines, nothing. 

-Forced downloads of DLC, even if you didnt buy them. For people with bandwidth caps, this is absolute **** as it used up bandwidth when we never even bought the DLC. 

-Campaign is the epitome of generic. Nothing interesting at all in the campaign. 

-Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was a better game on consoles. 

-Shooting mechanics are still inferior to COD. Even Far Cry 3 has better shooting mechanics. 

-The entire game seemed to have a teal tint to it. 

-Destruction was not very impressive at all. Actually seemed like a step back from BFBC2.

 

I'm a PlayStation fanboy... but even I have to admit Battlefield 3 was garbage on consoles. People hyped it up as the "COD Killer" and EA put a massive marketing campaign behind it. Unfortunately the game itself was trash on consoles.

That's good! Why would anyone buy from the PSN store when all digital downloads won't even transfer to the PS4. It proves to me that buying digitally is pointless. I prefer physical media.

I play a good bit away from my tv and need an extension for my 3mm cable. I do have an extender the problem is when i plug it in no one can hear me. It loses my voice when it goes throught th extension into the mixamp. Is there a cable extender out there that will extend the length without losing the mic capability?
