Would this PC setup be good for gaming?

[Gazis]

I'm trying my best to come up with a cheap PC setup that's also powerful. If you guys have any suggestions, please say them. The maximum price I want to have is $1200.

swap the 770 for the 970, and it will be a beast 😛

Why would you get a 770 when the 970 was released? Get the 970 and its a perfect build

i have switched it out with a 970, it's just that PCPartPicker didn't have it at the time. I ended up with this build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/npzwpg
