This is my first build. I originally did not want to spend this much, but I felt like this was a good value. I am hoping to get two to three years out of it until I need a new gpu. I want to play games like civ 5 and skyrim on high settings and hopefully future games like gta 5 and rome 2. Am i spending too much on a gpu? Do you have any suggestions for a better part?
