I'll beat it in my sleep and not break a single sweat.

Should I say good game yet?

-AMD Processor and motherboard =V
-The PCI Express slot is still 2.0 (Less performance)
-The Grahpics card is not the newer 700's (Only GPU Boost 1 and less performance)
-PSU ain't modular (Doesn't really matter tho)
-I included a keyboard(Without it could have got an SSD)
Anyways, dat 240GB SSD =P

-AMD proccesers are better for cheap builds.
-One of my friends has that motherboard, and it's pretty good.
-The PSU is semi-modular, but not fully.
-I used that expensive(ish) SSD because I couldn't scroll it down to 120GB, damn the new capacity thing on PCPP :V

Also, your CPU has major-ish flaws.
-It has a low clock rate.
-It's not ment for overclocking.
-Haswells get pretty hot.

There is no need to overclock on this one. Also, if you install it properly it does't overheat. Clock rate doesn't really matter than much in the long run, and I'm not sure were you got the information on overheating. If you're suggesting Ivy Bridge, then that might work.

You should overclock it, it's running at only 3.0GHz.
Once you get up to 4.5-4.7GHz the it doesn't really improve anymore, but clock rate matters a lot when it comes to gaming. When it comes to multithreaded tasks like video editing, more cores matter. That's why there's processors with 2.7GHz but 24 cores (hyperthreaded).
I know Haswells get hot from experience and learning about the Haswell family v:

If I changed the CPU and motherboard to what you have, it would be cheaper, and also "better" as you say. I don't really trust AMD with their quality, but yeah.

I honestly prefer Intel over AMD, but AMD still gives you some good bang for your buck.

True. If it was a $2000 build, an Intel i7 with a water cooler would be a good choice.

Yep. Let me quickly whip up a $2000 build w/ 3770k & Superclocked GTX 780 Ti. Video editing & gaming.

I just made this kickass $1000 w/ a 3570k, but it was saved on my iPhone 4S, and I lost it yesterday....
