I will mainly use it for Planetside 2 recording with shadowplay and streaming to my Nvidia shield.
I only have a core2duo and 2gb of ram, but I have perfectly reusable hard drives and optical drives. First of will it run Planetside 2 on ultra? Second off is the 8 cores useful for rendering and 3d modeling? Thanks in advance.

Looks OK. I'd get a better power supply eg Antec HCG 620M.

See reviews on GTX760 eg http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-760-review-gk104,3542.html

Yep - 8 cores is good for rendering. AMD cores aren't as effective as Intel cores though - about a 30% difference.

Very good gaming rig, yeah!
It will have great performance on every game you want to play, but it just doesn't make much sense to pair an AMD processor with nvidia Graphics.. I would suggest you switch the 760 with a R9 270X wich will perform the same and save you a few bucks

since when does an AMD CPU not go with Nvidia Cards?

 

[Lucas Iemini]

It does go along no problem, it is just a convetion... like I said, this rig is great and will work flawlessly on any game..

 

[Mac266]

to hell with your convention 😀

Dude, it is just a convetion... "to hell with it" I agree, but I think this guy would like to save some money by getting the 270x.. I am here to help not to criticize other people's opinion...

I picked the 760 because I wanted to stream games to my Nvidia shield.I just cant do that with a R9 270x and Mantle so far is lackluster at best so my only reason to consider the 270x is invalid.

Also they seem to be the same price. But thanks for helping so far
