You dont need 16 gigs or an i7 for gaming

Great build but you don't need 16GB, thats overkill. Take your ram down to 8gb and add the money into the graphics card. Please remember the better your graphics card, the higher fps you will get aswell as graphics. For your ram, i would look at the 8GB G.Skill ripjaws X. Also, look at the GTX 770 OC. EVGA has good cooled ones.
