    Did you already buy these parts? The parts overall seem decent enough and should perform fine for the next few years.

    I'm not sure what you mean with dominate games, I would think that has more to do with your skill than your computer?

    The build looks decent, I would personally go with an Intel CPU for higher single core performance but the FX8350 is still decent.
    I wouldn't get the EVGA GPU unless it is a Signature 2, otherwise I would pick another card with a good cooler.
    Would personally pick a modular PSU and a better case but that is personal preference.
    I would pick a Samsung or Crucial SSD over any Sandforce based disks.

    the only part im waiting on is the water cooler. By dominate I meant being able to play most games on high settings.

    It is hard to predict how much the requirements for games will change over 2-3 years but I would guess that even in 3 years you should be able to play most games on mid-high settings still.

    Thank you. Thats what I was hoping for. I just wanted to build something that would wreck chivalry and WoW and league and csgo and planetside 2 and such and dayz standalone when it comes out. I work at mcdonalds and have other obligations so I couldnt go too wild on a build.

    I just wanted the sense of mind where I could log into a game and not even have to consider going into video options. I hate having to go in and turn everything way down just to barely be able to play it.

    Just friendly advice but maybe next time come ask build advice before buying. Either it looks fine considering your budget.
