So this is going to be my first build. I was wondering how good of a gaming PC this will be. WILL 64-BIT WORK WITH THIS SETUP OR WILL I NEED 32-BIT? I'm 14 and paying for this by myself so I can't be putting $1000s into this. If its not good please give reasons and things to replace it with. Thanks.

    Yes u bought best items at best price.. U should do one more that is a best cooler since its a amd processor it creates heat.. Ur cpu is 4x core so high end games can be played like gta iv,ghost recon fs,mw 3,mass effect,prototype 2 ..with high settings ..

    If u can afford more then go for gaming mother boards like AS Rock LGA1155 Intel Z77 Quad CrossFireX SATA3 USB3.0 AGbE MATX Motherboard Z77 PRO4-M , ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/sUSB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

    I would buy a CPU, and get a dedicated GPU(Graphics Card). And don't worry about the bit system for your CPU, but I would recommend a 64-bit, as it is more powerful, and it able to handle SLI setups if you ever go for one. I am 14 as well, and I built my computer as well. It is tons of fun, and it is a new hobby of mine. XD

    Have fun!
