First off I have a monitor and mouse already but other than that I am pretty much starting fresh. If you suggest any substitutions I'd rather purchase from Amazon or Newegg(Amazon over newegg, too.). Also would like to state I am not watercooling this build. But back on topic, I will be OCing and how will this build fare for newer generation games such as Battlefield 4 and the speculated requirements of games like GTA5.

I adjusted a few things for you. If I were you, I would wait to see what the new AMD R-200 series holds :3

October 15th my friend :) The succesor to your card should be around the same price and should offer a mild boost.
