That build you posted is really quite good, and you won't need to upgrade for a while

I am guessing but it should get around 200 fps.

Bump

Also could I possibly get a better build for the same price?

Wouldn't 600W be sufficient? A 600W power supply paired with a cheaper motherboard could make a stretch to a 4GB 770 or an 8350.

It would be but that one was pretty cheap so why not. 8350 is the same chip but clocked higher and if OP wanted to overclock then it wouldn't be an issue to set the clocks to 8350 levels. Also i wouldn't see the point in a 4GB 770 unless OP wanted to either have a huuuuge res single display or multi displays.

Oh yeah, didn't look at the PSU price after rebates and such (great price). The motherboard is still a bit unneeded though. If he wanted to save some pennies, he could go for a cheaper motherboard with a 970 chipset since he doesn't want SLI and won't be overclocking that heavily.

True a good one is the GA-970A-UD3 from Gigabyte if OP doesn't want to overclock much.
