It looks fairly good but without knowing the video card no one can judge how good-bad it will be.

The Graphics card I was going to get was a Nivada GTX 680

If it's this, fantastic choice.

Lock your FPS at 20 and it'll never stutter.

Don't hold back on a good brand power supply, 750w or even higher.
