What fps game you refering to?

760 not worth to get since by topping up $30 more, you can get powercolour r9 280x turboduo. 1 tier higher.

No need Samsung Pro, you cant feel the diff. Go get Samsung EVO 250gb from bizgram@qoo10 at $159.90. If you got $10 coupon, can get at $149.90.

No need Vengeance pro rams 2x 8gb. Normal vengeance or g.skill 2x 4gb will do. 8GB is more than enough for your needs.

Get i5-4570 + MSI B85M G43 will do. You dun need i7 or H97 mobo.

Since you not gonna OC, no need get so expensive CPU cooler. If you really need it, just get deepcool gammaxx 300 at $29/39.

Dota2 and i7? Mai la mai la

The rest is okay if you're willing to fork out the premium for 5-yr warranty SSD, H97 "gaming" mobo and quiet Noctua cooler. I can understand where you're coming from

You don't need i7 and 16gb unless your professional is a full time video editor, photoshop artist, rendering,etc.
