-Are you doing professional 3D modelling, video editing, etc? If not then there's a lot that screams overkill here.

-YOU HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY

-Underpowered & small SSD for the price range of the build

I frame-locked my BF4 to 60 FPS and its safe to say that I run it on Ultra-High at 60 FPS and only when a Jet blows up in my face does it hit 50, at any other time though (after 24 hours of testing) it does not drop below 60.

The SSD I picked up at my Fry's Electronics for Black Friday, I can't complain and I'm upgrading it very very soon to hold most of my games.

You could probably run at 120 FPS, but you are using two monitors; are the two monitors 1080p or 1440p, etc?

I don't do most of those things but I like to play Metro: Last Light and 100% of other games at 60 FPS with no drop.

Both at 1080p. Once this summer coming summer is over I'll be upgrading the monitors for 1440p.

A couple upgrades will be happening around the start and end of summer. I'll probably trade out my motherboard for another one that is compatible with DDR4 and then I will get DDR4. I will trade out my 2 monitors for 1 of 27" Asus PB278Q IPS 2560x1440 displays.

I might get a second one if for some reason I need one, which I probably won't and I'll also be moving into an area that has Google Fiber so I will pay for that and probably start streaming.

tbh then if you're only focusing on gaming then the 4960X is ludicrously overkill; an i5 4670K would've sufficed (although a 4770k would fit more considering how high end the build is).

32GB of RAM is also way overkill.

I am aware of the overkill, but a friend of mine showed me a similar build and I made my own modifications. I used my OWN money and this is what I came up with. Perks of living by yourself, having a degree, and a good job.

I need that much. I plan on keeping that PSU until it rolls over and dies, and over that time I'll be upgrading my parts. I'll probably never even get close to 1200W but, whatever.

Yeah, I saw that build around the time he completed it and since I had money, wanted a little more I just changed a couple things around and made it mine. Now that I have this "base" build I will be building on top of it this summer like I previously mentioned.

Well yeah, I could of easily built a 1500$ machine that runs most games on Medium/High but I didn't want that. I wanted something that will be like:

"Yo" *clicks play on Metro: Last Light* *1080p, settings to the max, 60FPS*

My old PC was running a GT 240 or something like that. I've probably saved up for about 2 years for this build, on top of paying rent, taxes, and college.

You seem to think AMD's piledriver architecture can touch Ivy bridge-E. Even with 2 more 'cores' and a faster clock it has no chance.
