    Slightly OT but need opinions

    So I am building a new rig after my last PSU and Gfx card fried while playing FF lol. I'm looking to max out the game with comfortable FPS ( I'm aware of people having FPS issues in-game ) Anyway here are my new parts on order:

    OCZ Fatal1ty 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply ( Haswell compatible)
    - CPU: Intel Core i5 4570 3.2GHz Quad Core CPU with 3.6GHz Turbo enabled
    - Motherboard: MSI B85-G43 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Motherboard
    - RAM: 8GB 1600MHz Dual Channel DDR3 RAM
    - MSI GeForce GTX 670 OC Twin Frozr Power Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
    - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache WD10EZEX - OEM ** Single Platter ** HDD

    Could I expect good performance from this rig? I've opted not to get an SSD for now since I'm neither here nor there with the benefits of them.

    Mine isn't all too different except I'm running a Core i7 in mine. My gfx is an EVGA GTX 670 FTW. You should run perfectly fine. I don't often go below 60 fps (vsync'd) and those places that my fps does drop a little (extremely crowded areas), I've never dropped below 30fps (sans driver crash).

    Try to get an unlocked CPU. I think that MSI board includes their OC Genie which can boost your performance a little more.

    Yeah it does. I always go MSI as I've never had a single faulty part from them,very good brand.

    Running an MSI board as well, love it and with the OC Genie, I have a decent, conservative OC of 4.1Ghz.

    I should note that when I do drop in fps (below 60fps), I'm on maximum settings, 1920x1080, full screen, extremely crowded area with lots of spell effects going off, rain, etc. Even then, it doesn't happen too often if at all.

    That's good news, looking promising.

    I see a lot of people suffering with the GTX 670, is this something to worry about? Since that will be my new gpu I'd hate to think it's pointless.
