I'm building a computer for the first time. I want to be able to play games like BF4, Crysis 3, Metro:Last Light, TESV:Skyrim, And ESPECIALLY The Elder Scrolls Online when it comes out. So far these are the components I want to get:

CPU: AMD FX-6300 6-core

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 AM3

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB 1866 MHz (2 x 4GB)

Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 2GB

Hard drive: WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache

Case:Silverstone Tek Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX Mid Tower Computer Case, Black

Power Supply: Corsair CX Series 600 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze ATX12V/EPS12V 552 Power Supply CX600M

Optical drive: Pioneer Electronics USA Blu Ray Combo Drive, BDC-207DBK

OS: Windows 8.1 (64 bit)

Will I easily be able to play these games at at least 40 FPS on max resolution? I have a $800 dollar budget, if this is not good, please make suggestions in the comments

Thanks in advance, Dylan

Your case does not seem to support that motherboard. You need to find a motherboard that is in the micro ATX form factor like your case. Also, I suggest getting a motherboard with an fm2/fm2+ socket because AM3 is being discontinued. This means you wont be able to get the newest cpu's when they come out. The FM2+ line of CPU's hasn't been released yet, but they are coming out some time this month.

Possibly change the mobo (if oc'ing) to an asus m5a97 or above (evo etc..) The am3+ msi mobo's have been known to have throttling issues. Poss swap that psu out for a Seasonic, antec xfx, or some corsairs (higher end) Hope it helps.
