Hey guys, i'm planning on building a new computer for myself and I wanted to get some opinions on whether or not it's decent. I want to be able to play games like DOTA, Rust, and tomb raider, and I want to know if this build can handle those games at high settings. Also if you have any suggestions on parts I should replace/add to the build let me know. i'd like to keep the build under $850.

There is no power supply added because I have a spare 500W one at home.

Here is the build [link]http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2W6DX[/link]

Thanks!

It's cool, it can definitely run those titles at high. I hope your PSU is made by a reliable brand though. As for improvements, I'd add an nvidia 760 instead and maybe the intel 3570k cpu instead of the 3470.

I can't speak for DOTA or Rust, but that should be able to cope with Tomb Raider on High, though possibly not Ultra.
Tomb Raider is superbly optimised though - in my experience it plays at a much higher and stable FPS than stuff like Crysis 3, Far Cry 3, or Hitman Absolution, so for those games you might have to push down to Med/High rather than High.
If you did want to improve the build a bit you could get a slightly better GPU (perhaps a 7870 or 660ti?), possibly also a small SSD for the OS to improve speed.

It seems pretty well proportioned for the budget as it is though.

That part selection gives me the impression you know exactly what you're doing and aiming for with that build. As long as your 500w isn't some no-name brand it should be able to handle the rig easily. Well-rounded for the budget, no suggestions from me :)
DOTA and Rust will run very easily. Tomb Raider will also run fine but don't expect max settings.
