I have no clue as to whether I posted this in the right area lol. These are the specs for the iBuyPower Gamer Paladin F950 that i've configured. I was curious to whether I would be able to run most games on this with a framerate at 60+ while on high-ultra settings (what about medium-high settings)? I'm shooting for high+ but wouldn't mind medium-high either. Any suggestions on what I can add/remove that would bring down the cost but keep the performance or slightly change it? The cost now is about $2721$. Thanks. (I know the specs are extremely long, but it's my first time configuring a pre-built PC and want to make sure I did everything right.

Another question I had was whether I should get the noise reduction technology. I wasn't looking at the Basic, but the advanced and am asking solely because of the "Improved Airflow" bit. Is it worth the extra $89 because I do know that having good cooling and airflow is essential for gaming PCs.
