Buying a new computer

Hi, I am in need of an upgrade and am going to buy a new computer. However, not really sure which parts are worth grabbing. So far I've picked out the graphics card and the cpu.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127696 gpu
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116502 cpu
And I'm not really sure where to go from there. I play other games apart from TF2 and would hope to play at a high fps on max settings. My budget is $1100. If there are better deals for a gpu/cpu please do suggest them. Anyway, just wondering if anyone can come up with a good pc that will last me a while. Thanks!

Look around the battlefield forums, a lot of those guys have built computers for BF3, and that can give you some ideas. I had some friends e-mail me builds from newegg under 900$. So it's worth a shot to see what they have suggested to each other.

Sorry I couldn't offer more, I'm not very beneficial when it comes to computer hardware ;-;

Once you put in the components you just follow down the build list and it will do compatibility for you.

Definitely a good site...especially when finding the 'most highly rated' or popular component within your price-range.

You're welcome.

Scratch the SSD if 1100 is a super firm budget.

Well if you already finished I hope you didn't get the i7-3770, instead get the i7-3770K. It should be virtually the same price but K = the unlocked version which allows for some pretty easy overclocking.
