The above is a computer that I just purchased. Probably should have asked this question beforehand

What do ya'll think? I will mainly be playing video games (Guild Wars 2, Skyrim, Crysis 3).

Its a good computer. It will max all those games no problem and will for a long time.

You overpaid by about $600

Here is what it would have cost to build it yourself:
