What I was wondering is will this build be nice for a couple of years? Will I be able to run the next-gen games like Battlefield 4, COD: Ghosts (I know these aren't too next gen but you get the point), and Titanfall, etc.
So here are the specs (along with prices).

Case

-$40

Total Computer Price
$1215

I was thinking about getting either the Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 or the Sapphire Radeon VAPOR-X R9 280X. This is the link for the R9 280X:

Please tell me which is better.
Thanks

So if I used this setup, would I be able to run BF4 on Ultra for 40+ fps?
