Questions:

1. Am I bottlenecking anything

2. Will this last me 5 years+ handling most new games on ATLEAST high?

3. Will this run BF4 on ultra?

4. How's this case? (Any users?)

Looks great, really nice system. The only change I'd make is the power supply. Corsair has some amazing PSUs, but the CX lineup is an entry level PSU, not really designed for a high end gaming system that will be overclocked like the one you are building.

Add ten bucks and get the Antec HCG620M. It's made by Seasonic, arguably the best PSU maker there is right now.

It also won the gold award from hardware secrets, one of the most reliable PSU testing sites around

Ya change the PSU

We can't really say it'll last 5 years. Thats a long time and things could always change drastically or slowly. Its a nice build and will definitely run bf4 on ultra.

As time goes on you can add an SSD for faster load times another GPU when needed. GL with the build

So, what's the difference between the monitor you listed, and the one. I had listed? Like the IPS?

Yeah, 5 years is pretty long. I'll probably add an SSD in like a month or so. Hopefully the pc will last me 5 years, but atleast 2-3 years :)
