Okay, I'm going to be building my first PC and want to know if it's any good.
Intel Core i7-4770K Processor
2 120mm Noctua Intake fans
EVGA SuperClocked GeForce GTX 780
ASUS Sabertooth Z87
16GB Gskill Trident X 2400Mhz Ram
256GB Samsung Pro Series SSD
1TB Western Digital Caviar Black HDD
Corsair Professional Series AX750W PSU
Fractal Design Define R4 Case
LG Blu-Ray Optical Drive
I want to run Skyrim, World of Warcraft, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Mafia II, etc. at 1920x1080 at Ultra settings, I might install some HD textures for Skyrim and maybe a ENB but it will mostly be immersive/gameplay changes such as SkyRe and Hunterborn. Thanks for any feedback and if there's anything I could do to help the build like increasing hard drive space or getting a better GPU, please tell me, thanks in advance :)

yep, that will run and max out any of the games you have listed, even with hd textures and stuff. you could probobly stand to get a little bit cheeper ram though, because you really need 1600mhz ram for gaming, the higher mhz stuff is more for hd video incoding and other tasks like that. also, if you have this sized budget you may want to go the lga 2011 rout, wich has better 6 core cpu's and a better upgrade path for nicer stuff. I would suggest asus sabertooth x79 and a i7 3820 or 3930k.

Should I get the 2400Mhz Ram if I intend to maybe do some livestreaming and video editing and recording for YouTube? Or would 1600 still be good for that? Also, I don't think I can drop $570 for that 6 core 3930k, I can drop $300 for the 3820 and $300 for the Asus Sabertooth x79, thanks for the feedback, going to take me so long to buy this thing, I'll probably only be making like $240 a month but my parents are going to help me buy it :D Can't wait!
