-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. |

"Isn't there an AMD-8--- that's a 4GHZ 8-Core on PC Part Picker?" 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. |
