2)ASRock Z77 Pro4 Motherboard

3)ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 AMP! Edition 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

Hi. You won't be able to play on high. On low you will be ok.
Your GPU is not very good, don't you mind about getting new one. To play on high with stable FPS you need something like 760 or 7950.

The CPU and the RAM are alright, but if you want to play on with that card you are more likely to just game at the Low preset.

Check this performance benchmark for BF4's beta: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/battlefield-4-graphics-card-performance,3634-4.html

You'll note that the GTX 650 isn't in the review while it's bigger brother, the 650 ti is. Expect the performance to fall between the HD 7770 and the 650 ti.

Good comments^
Let me add that you would want a 8gb ram kit made up of 2 x 4gb sticks. That would give you dual channel capability. The cost should be similar.

Hold on, what monitor and resolution are you using? What PSU? Don't want to get anything wrong. Don't want to recommend you a graphics card that could end up too weak or overkill either.

Board and CPU are fine. For RAM you'll want a pair of (identical) sticks to take advantage of some extra speed.

The GPU is incapable, especially when you consider that it's bigger(er) brother is so cheap right now.

For a gaming pc, the graphics card is all important. I suggest budgeting 2x the cpu cost for the graphics card for a balanced build.
In this case, using a $200 cpu would suggest a $400 graphics card like a GTX770.

And... I like to use current gen parts on a new build.

GamingPerfection :

Give us your budget for those 4 parts in total and we will be able to help you for real.

If you are on a budget, I would suggest dropping CPU a notch and upping your GPU instead.

1. Get a FX 6300 CPU for about 120 dollars.

2. Get a good enough 970 Motherboard for like 80 dollars.

3. Get the AMD 7950 for about 180 dollars after Mail-In-Rebates on newegg.

4. Get 2x4GB RAM for about 60-70 dollars.

This should make up much better gaming build for about the same price. Also can I know what is your exact budget, so that I can recommend something even more suited for the budget.
