On a budget it will have to do the only thing u def should change is the power supply. I would not trust raidmax psu with anything lol get the corsair cx 430 for $40 or a cx 500 for $60. The 430 will be enough to run everything as the 7850 only requires one six pin and cpu is a 100watt cpu.

It should play bf4 fine just prob not ultra, its hard to predict but assuming it'll be better than bf3 for graphics u may have to tweak or play on high or OC ur cpu and gpu, but for the cost will be a great build.

Prob not at the moment a 2gb 7850 on bf3 720p ultra prob gets like 80 fps and if anything will play high bf4. Also there is no reason to buy the athlon x4 for the FM2 socket, just get a fx cpu and a am3+ board. get a lot better power supply raidmax is usually garbage in quality, get a corsair cx 500 or an xfx 550.

So change board and cpu to fx and am3+ prob a fx 6300 and a similar priced board, get a better power supply and upgrade gpu to something like a 760gtx for best "future proofing" or for bf4. BF3 prefers more cores and would run better off the 6300 vs the x4 750k

Also usually bf3 plays smoother and better on nvidia cards, but a 7870/7950 wouldnt be bad but for the cost the 760gtx is prob the best card for the job

I'm trying to keep my price <$500 and I am already past that, so at this point, every dollar counts. The only reason i got the MSI video card was because it was $160 with a promo code on newegg.

I've been doing some research online, and I've noticed that the 7850 should be able to run BF3 on Ultra at 720p easily. Why do you say otherwise?

saw a video at 720p that it goes about 60-80fps, and assuming bf4 is more graphic intense that number should lower quite a bit. It matters what fps u consider playable which 30 is usually minimum, and like i said its hard to tell with a game that isnt out yet, u could get 45+fps in bf4, u could go under 30fps, reason why "future proofing" or trying to buy components for games or programs that are not out yet are hard to pick.

Oh..... lol well then yes easily play bf3 ultra 720p.

That psu and the last would work, but will prob die quite quickly either get the corsair or antec ones i mentioned or find one off this list - http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx. tier list 1-5, 1 being best in quality and better the quality the better it'll perform and the longer it should theoretically last as everything has a chance of dying at any time

And if i didnt mentioned everything is compatible
