So this is my first attempt at a full build. I mainly want to play BF4 and Elder Scrolls Online on High. I know the case and PSU arent amazing but I got them from a friend who bought a bundle deal and didnt use them.

Anyways please let me know what yall think! Thanks in advance!
*Also I am getting the HD 7870 from a friend who is upgrading to a HD 7970

Looks good overall, would suggest losing the MSI mobo, won't touch them due to their poor QC...Might look at the Asus Z87-A or Plus...or up a little to the Gryphon...all good quality, OC well, run cool, good BIOS....Asus seems to have the best handle on the Z87 and Haswell

This ASUS mobo is a very good option:

Use saves for a good cpu cooler:

Thanks for all the help, I've switched to the ASUS board yall recommended and the cooler. I already bought the ram though, would down clocking it to get a lower latency be better or run it at 2133 at 11?
