Those specs look great.  I personally would go ahead and put 16GB of ram to prevent that being a choke point later on since this system is aiming to the high end.


Also are you building it yourself or purchasing it?

Specs look pretty solid for a mid to high end gaming PC. I would recommend you up the RAM a little bit. intel i7 is a great choice. Other than that, very nice.
