I have decided to up my budget from my original build I was planning. So here it is. I am no expert so would appreciate advice from anyone willing to help.

Primary Purpose - Eve-Online (2-3 accounts) Battlefield, ARMA, Total War series of games. I am not looking to upgrade for some time so this system must last a while and play games at high settings.

I may wish to overclock and X-Fire in the future though. Possibly.

great build. good choices. the r9 280x is a great card and with amd mantle comming out it is going to have great support for battlefield 4. and its a great card for the price. all the other parts are good choices but the os. make sure you want windows 8 it may be a little faster but it is so tablet frendly. but if you do get it i would sugjest a start bar mod thats what i have and it works great. othere wise you got a great build.

Thanks for your input guys. I have no idea about operating system, so are you recommending windows 7 then? If so I have no problem with that, I only selected 8 cos it's newest.

I may decide on a second graphics card so thought that if i go with 750 now, I have the option in the future.

Thanks again for your help.
