The Sabertooth is a controversial board. I have one myself, and quite like it, but I would never recommend it for a build below $3,000, it's just not efficient.

AMD makes great CPUs, but they're not competitive with Intel in gaming at the high-end. The i5-4670k if the best gaming CPU on the market at the moment, and I would recommend using that for a build with this budget. The FX 8350 isn't terrible, however, just not as optimal for gaming.

CPU: Intel Haswell i5 4670k
GPU/VGA: GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-2GD
Memory/RAM: Ripjaws 16GB
SSD Kingston Hyper X 3K 120Gb or Samsung 840 Pro
HDD Western Digital Blue 1TB SATA 6.0Gb/s 7200RPM
Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VI Formula (Not release yet, but it will be around $300)
Case: Corsair 500r White Edition
CPU Fan: Noctua Nh-D14
PSU Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 720w

Its under 1700 but it will max battlefield 4, maybe almost, but you can change it, maybe something like these
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 780 or maybe GTX TITAN :p, i prefer gigabyte
PSU: 1000watt
Mobo: ASUS Maximus VI Extreme

It will max Crysis 3, and if you require a monitor/OS/peripherals, there's still some room in the budget.

If this build is insufficient in some regard, I'll be happy to alter it to suit your needs.

Oh lord. I helped a fellow from South Africa a while back. Based on what I saw then, expect a 30-50% premium on the prices.

Have you seen benchmarks I haven't? Because I was under the impression that we were unaware of the requirements to max BF4.

Edit: In response to your edit, given that they use different engines (Frostbite 2 and 3, respectively, I'd be surprised to see identical or even very similar requirements).

If you buy the Ripjaws, yes it will, but if youre going to buy corsair, you should buy the low profile

If you're only looking for a moderate overclock, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo from my build should be plenty.

You certainly don't need to overclock, though it can net you a goodly amount of extra performance for a relatively low cost.

Well in that case, the Cooler Master 212 EVO is enough

8175 rand is about 815$

Hd 7870 can achieve 50+fps easily (high-max. Settings)


If you want a better gpu get gtx 770

There are likely some air coolers that could fit over Vengeance, though I can't think of any off the top of my head. You might consider an NZXT Kraken x40 at the low-end, or a Swiftech H220 or NZXT Kraken x60 at the high end. Alternatively, custom loops are always great, though they're the most difficult and most costly option.
