I am building my first computer and I want it to be upgradable in the future.

here is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1XhAY

my budget is around 1000- 1200 (but feel free if you have any good components that's worth the upgrade)
I would love to get any feed back.

I've looked into the cpu, gpu, ram, ssd, and mobo

I recently looked for a good power supply but I am simply overwhelmed. I picked one based on price + rating + brand name but obviously that isn't the best option without reading reviews but there's simply too many to read them all.

If you have any recommendations on any other parts of the computer please feel free to say it and leave a reason why.

Thank you for the help.

the graphics that I had was for 210 but i guess prices went up. I think I'll stick to the 7950 and hope for the price to drop or upgrade it to yours. I have read somewhere that intel may be better at my price range of the build but I wonder about how good is intel with upgrades in the future.

Thank you.
