I've finally been given the option to build a new computer, and my aim is to be able to run games like bf4 and games that are coming out later in the year at around 60 fps or more while still staying in the price range of $1500. I've also started doing a little bit of animation as well, and i was wondering if I could get some constructive criticism, feed back, or suggestions for my parts list ( http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3hMkW ). Thanks so much!
Looks great and well rounded :-)
I think for $50 or so more dollars, I would get a GTX 780.
Also, if you aren't going higher than 1920x1080, then the 2GB version of the 770 will perform about the same as the 4GB card.
Higher clocked memory will help with animation rendering as well.

I switched out some parts for other parts to help balance out the budget.
Thanks for the feed back, might go for that 780.
