Need help. It's my first time building a Gaming PC. I'm not playing with ultra settings Just want to ask if this set of parts will give me a decent FPS with no lag while playing games like BF4, COD etc. or do I need to change some parts? Also, I want to ask for help about the fan that I will use for the cooling system of my PC.

Advance Thanks for the help!

Made some changes. Corsair makes excellent cases. Do not get CM Elite 431..I had one and it is cheap. no buy. This system will play all games at Ultra and High (BF4) with plenty of fps.

Thanks everyone it's still hard to decide which build to choose but could you recommend me other brands of Power Supply because I will have hard time looking for an XFX here in our country and also the Video Card is the MSI brand not good enough?

MSI has almost greatest cooling on GTX-7** series and for PSU look for Antec, Corsair (except CX) and of course Seasonic!
I own GTX-760 from MSI and cooler RPM doesn't go higher than 45%! But if the price in your country too high I'd recommend you R9 270X!

All manufacturers have good and bad items, MSI also good for R9 series you can't go wrong with MSI Twin Frozr IV cooler, just watch reviews in YouTube and you'll understand me, for motherboard i can't tell that MSI good or bad because i didn't own AMD board from MSI. But now I use MSI Z87-G45 Gaming and it works perfectly really solid board.
BTW. Asus not often recommended as video card. For Radeon models look at Sapphire and XFX brands

Cool! As for now MSI will be my choice for R9 270X but I will try to find Sapphire/XFX brand here in my country. Yeah, MSI Z87-G45 seems to be good but it's out of budget could you recommend other mobo?

The Asus boards that we listed are the best AMD boards just look for M5A97 R2.0 (non LE) or M5A99FX R2.0 boards
