Hi guys this is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Dq5C

I have chosen these parts with the help of Pcpartpicker :)

Please can you judge my overall build and also please could you estimate what settings I'd be able to play Battlefield 4 on, 1080p, Crysis 3, etc.

Thanks!

why not?
also, I'm thinking of getting windows 8, OR windows 7 and an SSD (only for the OS, like 64gb)
what do you guys think?

Yeah I meant that lol :)
Ahh ok, I just went for them because they're cheaper, meh will probably change to WD.

Yeah I'm kinda leaning towards doing that, but what do you think would be faster, Windows 7 w/ SSD, or Windows 8?



Thx, that Mobo is a micro-ATX though, and I don't really like the sound of them tbh :/
I also don't know how to do a BIOS update lol.
Also, what is the difference between the one I chose and your one?
Thx

the difference in mobo's is the chipset 970>760g(yours is 970) and is bigger at ATX size and so includes more sata 6 ports/features.

The 970 chipset motherboards are better than the 760/880G ones.

I'd actually advise the M5A97 R2.0 (Not LE or EVO editions) The LE is a basic version of the regular and the EVO is a more powerful version than the regular but the regular one is generally best as it can overclock with more potential than the LE and isn't "bad" compared to the EVO.
