Gaming Build Advice? Suggestions?

[viscaria999]

Hi! Initially, I got advice for a $1000 gaming build, but some of the parts aren't available where I'm from, and ordering online is out of the question because customs can be... tricky.

Anyway, I wanted to know if the build I'm planning to go with would be able to play at high-ultra settings (for games like Skyrim, Sims 3, Dragon Age 3, Amnesia, etc.), and how upgrade-able are the parts (I want to be able to play Witcher 3, eventually, but I'm not willing to shell out that much to meet the recommended requirements yet).

I also want to know if this would suffice for programming. Over-clocking is not something I plan on doing either.

(I've also considered removing the SSD for a GTX970, would this be better?)

I'd want a better PSU, you are building a racing car, not a mini-van. I would also want a much better/different GPU. Can you point us to a site where you might buy from so we can offer suggestions you can actually buy.

You probably do want a better gpu (3-4gb)

If you want to save about $40 you can simply change out your SSD for a cheaper one with the same/more storage
