What games are you thinking of playing? Are you looking for advice, or do you just want a general appraisal?

In general I would say you will be fine.

This.

Other thoughts:
- The CPU and mobo are fairly reasonable assuming you're getting them in this combo.
- The PSU is a bit overkill on wattage though, this Antec TP-650C Gold is a better deal at $60 AR AP
- The RAM is pretty overpriced at $165. This Team kit is just as good and costs $135
- The GPU is also too expensive for a GTX 770. Grab this ASUS for $315 AR and drag two sliders to the right yourself.

In your previous thread you mentioned waiting until cyber Monday, but I guess you decided otherwise. Posting your parts list here prior to buying never hurts, and the smart folks on this form might have been able to find enough savings to let you bump up the GPU and not have to deal with SLI later.

Just for future reference, you could stand to be much clearer about what it is you are looking to do. No one here had any idea you wanted to go SLI down the road.

Regardless, enjoy what you have!

Yeah I know but I found 40$ in rebates and over 150$ in sales so I'm pretty happy (slickdeals)
