This is going to be my second build, please rate it out of 10 and maybe change something. My budget is $700 including shipping and taxes. I will be using this to play heavy games like BF3 online, Skyrim, Farcry, crysis, etc.

Thermaltake TR2 W0070 430W ATX12V v2.3 Power Supply

AMD FX-6300 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Six-Core Desktop Processor

Athena Power CA-GSB01DA Black 0.8mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - OEM

TOSHIBA DT01ACA300 3TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

MSI 970A-G46 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

SAPPHIRE 100358L Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support

All for $675.03 with shipping and taxes. What would you change in this build?

I don't know where you spent that much money in that build but you should be getting a lot more for 700 dollars.

better take a look at toats build, thats much better :)

those heavy games with high or ultra settings.  need a 7850 or better card, 80+ certified power supply, and at least  8GB of ramm.

ive got an 7870 card with a coolermaster 700 watt non 80+ certified in my system, and it gives problems..

Hi guys, if you could reply ASAP that would be awesome... Would the Phenom x4 965 bottleneck the 7870??

No it would not but I'd recommend the 6300 as the Phenoms are starting to show their age. If you're looking to save a couple dollars, grab the white version of the source 210 and also find a cheaper mobo since you won't be crossfiring.

Hey! One thing I would look at is maybe getting some faster ram (if you can squeeze it in the budget). Like 1600? My friend has DDR3 1333 and it bogs his system down quite a bit.

I thought RAM speed only made a big difference if you have an intergrated GPU? There's a 2% increase in overall performance from 1600 to 2400, according to a thread on tomshardware.
