I want a PC that will run hefty games at high settings, and Crysis 3 at (at least) medium settings. Also, I already own a Geforce GTX 480, but I will upgrade in about 1 year or so. I also need it to be under 900 dollars. Thus, I built this PC on pcpartpicker. Will it suffice for what I want it to do?

50 more and you get a GPU.
Next year you will be building a whole new PC with much better specs.
 


That's a great build, but the thing that I forgot to mention is that I want a red and black build theme. That's the way my room is setup, and if it were any other color scheme it would just look off.
