No. The 7970 is a good card but that case and power supply are not worthy of a $1K build. Maybe on a $400 build but not on a $1K build.

This would be more suitable:

I actually don't see much of a problem with this computer, except for the 16GB of RAM. Unless you are doing lots of photoshopping and all dat, you'll never use all of that memory. 8GB will do.

That's better but the Seasonic 520W is a better power supply and the Corsair 300R is a better case than the Cooler Master Elite 430 is.

Thanks for your help, but the website Im ordering from didnt have the seasonic 520W and I changed the case to Corsair 300R.
