I previously posted on here about building a rig based on looks and since it is my first build and I just recently helped a friend build his own rig, I learned a whole lot more and realized that it was not the greatest build. So I have this new build and want some opinions. It is a gaming build I want it to play anything and everything on high settings. The budget is $1500. Thank you.
BTW I posted many builds on here and some of you might be annoyed by now (I'm Sorry) but I guess you can say I am very complicated and I really want to take it slow as more things are being developed and tested I like to be informed of all pros/cons.
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
Motherboard: ASRock 787 Extreme6 LGA1150
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB ( 2 x 4GB ) DDR3-1600
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 7200RPM
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB
Power Supply: SeaSonic Platinum 860W 80 PLUS Platinum

A small explanation to the parts: CPU and Cooler choice are a matter of being great products and reasonable prices. The motherboard is also because it is a simple board with the necessary tools and features needed at a great price, it is also received nice reviews. The memory I do not really have an explanation other than they are the new DIMMs on the block. The storage I choose because it was the cheapest and PCPartPicker members rated it the most. Notice I haven't added a SSD, I shall explain: First the life expectancy on them is scary. Second other than speed the SSD won't change my performance of running the game other than opening it up faster, if you can truly give me a good, good reason then I will add one, but just loading speeds will not convince me (Correct me if I am wrong though by any means.) My philosophy on the video card was literally "Go big or go home." I don't want average FPS with average settings, I want "the best of the best of the best sir." The PSU almost everyone told me that SeaSonic has to be the best so I choose them. I am curious if the 860W is overkill because they also have a 660W but it was ideal because it was full modular and platinum. I didn't add a case because the case I choose has not hit the stores yet, but I choose Cooler Master's newest CM 690 III. Any feedback or corrections is gladly appreciated, although I am really set with this build.
