(Generated by PCPartPicker 2013-11-11 17:39 EST-0500) I have a few questions about this build, how will this mobo do for overclocking? I really want to overclock the 6300 so that it will not limit the 280x. This leads to the second question, will the 6300 limit the 280x, and what will the general performance of this build be, I'm hoping to run upcoming games, such as watch dogs on high-max settings at 50+ fps. If this build cannot do that, will anything in this price range be able to?

This is a really good, cheap case. I've used it 3 times and have yet to find a problem with it. It comes with preinstalled fans and a mesh dust filter on 1 or 2 of them.

Just to clarify, you're going to be hardwiring this right? If not, you'll need a wireless card.
Everything else looks good!

By hardwiring, I'm assuming you mean for internet, and yes, I will be. Just to make sure, this pc will be able to play intensive games such as battlefield 4 on max settings maintaining good performance? Thanks for the case suggestion.

It should be able to handle BF4 on max settings, I mean it does cover the 3GB GFX card requirement.

The Challenger is a good case. Max settings depend on your resolution. The graphics card will not be able to run max settings at 2160p, but you're not likely to be trying that resolution. The Battlefield series is known to be CPU bottlenecked, so where your graphics might be able to support it, the CPU would not.
