Well, I'm not seeing any cooling solution (i.e. upgraded CPU cooler or case fans). Are you planning on overclocking at all? At stock specs and with four cores, your CPU could be a potential bottleneck since BF4 is very CPU intensive, and if you upgrade your GPU down the road it may bottleneck that too. However, the current build should perform reasonably well. I think the frames your GPU will render will be on par with what your CPU can handle. As long as you don't overdo it with the anti-aliasing and other pretty effects, it should be a good experience.

Going to be hard to beat it for $40. The reviews aren't terrible, and it looks like enough people have had good results with it. I would prefer an ASUS board, but my MSI boards have never let me down; though they haven't particularly impressed me either. As long as the thing isn't DOA, I think JPBandit will be fine.
