Is my gaming build good?

[stevenfd]

I'm hoping to buy today or tomorrow so I get it as soon as I can after Christmas. I will be mainly playing games like gmod or planetside 2 on steam but I will probably try out BF4 on it. I really just want the games to run good i don't need them max fps on max settings. Trying to stay around 1000 and suggestions are appreciated.

My graphics card had to be a custom part as not on the website

I'd recommend a different PSU - you don't need 700W, and you can get higher quality for less money.

I'd also recommend a Haswell CPU, since you're not overclocking (they're better per clock but don't overclock as well as Ivy Bridge). And you can get a faster G.Skill Sniper memory kit for a lower price too.
