EXTREME PC noob here. How is this build?

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1HIqU

I'm on the verge of maybe actually getting this so this is a reassurance topic. Any better choices I could make that will stay around the same price?

This list was formed partly by my friend (who's been trying hard to get his first really good PC for a while and definitely knows more than me) and partly by some guys at the gamefaqs PC forum.

Oh and how powerful would this be compared to say.. The PS4/Xbone?

when the link is clicked, at least for me, it asks me to choose parts as if nothing is selected.

It should work now

Nope Its not working

Nope still broken. Just take a screen or post the parts

@IcyFlamez96: The link is working for me. I'd personally change the GTX 770 for a r9 280x. It's cheaper and provides almost the same level of performance, and you get an extra GB of VRAM with it too. You could use that money instead toward an i7-4770k, although you won't get much of a performance gain on most games right now.

Here ya go..

$74.99 w/ promo code EMCWXWR38 - <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128627">GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P AM3+ 970 ATX Motherboard</a>

Or, if you think that you might want to add another 7970 sometime down the road, get a 990fx board instead..

$104.99 - <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157281">ASRock 990FX Extreme3 AM3+ 990FX ATX Motherboard</a>

Been thinking about getting that board. Will be a month or so before I can. My current won't let me OC my cpu from the bios. Well I can, but it results in me having to pull my battery if I reboot my computer, otherwise I get a black screen. Plus I want to have the ability to add another card, without the x4 :P

Which CPU do you have? You'll probably want something with a more robust power delivery system. I would get the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 or MSI 990FXA-GD65V2 for overclocking. They're about $20 more expensive, but both have an 8+2 VRM phase design (checkout the number of mosfets and capacitors near the CPU socket). The ASRock 990FX Extreme3 only has a 4+1 VRM phase design, so I wouldn't try and pull more than 125w from the CPU socket...
