This rig has room for some good overclocking and SLI in the future if you need a bit more GPU power.

Thanks, Is there any in game performance increases if you have 16 gb of ram? Also would this pc be able to handle well when recording with fraps when playing games like dayz bf4 and crysis?

In high/ ultra settings with a steady 60 frames?

16Gb of ram isn't going to much if any difference currently, 8Gb is currently considered the sweet spot. On high definitely 60 fps, and Ultra on most games. If you don't plan on overclocking or future SLI we maybe able to get a 780 in there.
