$1500-1800 Gaming Rig Help

[narajabzadeh]

I'm going to build a gaming rig after being stuck with a laptop for the past few years. I threw together this list of parts but I don't know if it's any good, or where I should go higher or lower to avoid a bottleneck. I don't want a part that's isn't good enough, but I also don't want a part that is way overpowered relative to the rest of the system. I haven't built a computer since 7th grade when I wanted to play C&C, so any help would be greatly appreciated. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Good part choices. The only thing I would change is the PSU. I'd suggest a Seasonic 600W-750W unit, or a Corsair RM650 or RM750.

Looks like a perfectly good build to me.
best cpu for gaming at the moment
One of the best air coolers for the CPU
Solid motherboard.
Good amount of good quality memory.
Large fast SSD
Good storage drive
Good graphics
The case is huge but it will house everything, so whatever you happen to like
PSU that will run everything even if you decide to SLI later on.
Bluray drive that works.

That pretty much sums it up everything is great.

With still money left over to get an OS is you need it.

The only possible thing to change on that would be to upgrade the graphics from the GTX770.
But generally it will run anything at 1920x1080.

Just click that order button, you won't be disappointed.
