Hello, I am planning on building a computer this Christmas and I need help with the parts. I want to be able to play some modern games* at a minimum at 60 FPS (Or 30, if 60 isn't possible). I don't need a case or windows included, but would be appreciated. Thanks all!

*Games are ARMA 3, Flight Simulator X, and or Battlefield 4

I tried looking for a R9 280x in stock again, and clicked 5 of them but gave up. The MSI one is in stock but its actually going for $340. Plus with people saying the QC on MSI products is going down probably not worth getting.

I would veto the Corsair CX series - they're not really known for quality. Get a Seasonic, Antec, PC Power & Cooling Silencer, or Corsair TX or AX instead.
