Is this an ok build?

I wish to play Battlefield 3 and DayZ and i was wondering if i could get some decent frame rates with this build (50fps+).

Deepcool Case Fan 60mm x 25mm- $5

AMD FX-4130 4-CORE BLACK EDITION CPU, 3.80 GHz- $114

Sapphire ATI HD 7770 GHZ Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5- $111

Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue Hard Drive- $72

Samsung SATA Black Internal 24x Speed Plus DVDRW Drive- $20

Asrock 970-EXTREME3 R2 AM3+ AMD Motherboard- $105

Cooler Master Elite 431P 500W PSU USB3 External SATA X-Dock- $95

Patriot 8GB 2 x 4GB 1600MHz G2 Series Division 2 Edition- $59

Total: $603

I'm in Australia and I know our prices are ridiculous but please don't send me links to newegg and I'm not wasting my money on a intel core.

Can anyone give me some $600-$700 AMD builds that will run Battlefield 3 and DayZ well

On low-med settings, you could run those at 50+, but you won't get high-end performance with the 7770. If you bump up to the 7850, you could get solid performance on high settings, and 30 or so on ultra.

I have a 7850 and a 6300

I have a similar rig to what you are thinking about building... FX-4170, 8 gb ram (1600MHz), you have a better board, I run a GTX 560.

As for your FPS question, this guy has a similar enough PC. His CPU is better, but the graphics is the most important feature: http://www.rmhmobile.org/?p=2294

Battlefield 3 looks to have less than optimal performance with your rig: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2012/02/15/amd-radeon-hd-7750-1gb-review/8

Few things...small 50mm case fans going to be loud. Try find a case in your price range like the r200. Uses 120mm fans.most new cases come with two fans already one that pulls and the other that pushes. For the power supply corsair or other bronse rated 650w units are in the 60.00 us price range. Your paying extra for that x dock feature if your never going to really use.
Look to start your build with 7790. It 20.00 more then the 7770 but is only slightly slower then the 7850.

It's alright. At 1680x1050 you can hit 50+ on High settings with No AA.

The 4130 isn't a good pick - the 4300 is going to be a fair bit faster for roughly the same price, and the 6300 gets you two more cores for just slightly more money.

Other than that.... what zared said.
