Hello guys,
I have decided the following build for my gaming PC.

Some doubts to clear :
1) I am on a strict budget of US$2000
2) I will be playing high end games.
3) I have plans to overclock in the future.
5) Basic Video Editing
6) I live in Singapore.

Here is my rig:
Case: Corsair 200R
PSU: Corsair CX750M
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87-D3HP
CPU: Intel Haswell Core i5-4670k
HDD: Western Digital Black 1TB
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
Optical Drive: LG GH24NS50
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB
GPU: EVGA GTX770 2GB

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Monitor: Asus 23" VX238H
Keyboard: Corsair Vengeance K70
Mouse: Razer Deathadder 2013
Mouse Pad: Steelseries QcK Mousepad
Headset: Steelseries Siberia V2 Frost Blue
Internet: MyRepublic Gamer Ultra Edition
Total:US$1954.68

My Questions :
1) Is this rig good?
2) What is the minimum frames I can expect from this build on BF4?
Thanks in advance to all those who comment.

What website are you ordering the parts from? It's a good build. Since you aren't overclocking or buying Z87 motherboard, you can't do SLI so a 750 watt power supply is useless. 600 watts is more than enough for your build. Corsair 650HX is the replacement I would suggest. You can find cheaper power supplies if necessary. I don't think you really need to change anything else.

I'm buying some parts from Amazon.com because I find out there is free shipping program going on called Amazon Global Saver. The other parts will be bought at a retail shop called Sim Lim Square here in Singapore. Is a 620w Power Supply enough for this build?
Thanks for your opinions.

Seasonic M12II 620 or Antec HCG 620M? Yes. Good power supplies.

Yes. RAM uses very little wattage. You need not to worry about adding more components other than a second GPU for SLI, which again you can't with that motherboard. You could even add a GPU for Physx and you would still have enough power.

Honestly only for gaming you don't need more than 8 gb ram even the most intense games today use only like 6gb so I suggest dropping to 8 gb: 2x4 gb modules and dropping the SSD and get one in the future instead just try to get an HDD first I suggest a 2TB seagate barracuda (practically the same price as the 1 TB) also do you really need such a "expensive keyboard?" I'm only asking since you are focused on performance. If you drop the Keyboard to a cheaper one, RAM to a 2x4 gb, and also the SSD drop you could probably fit a GTX 780 ti into your budget and have 4k gaming rig play everything on ultra and record at the same time. 2000 $ is a lot of money I suggest you use Pcpartpicker website.

Also I suggest going with a Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.

Here's an awesome pc for 2000$. BTW this pc is from pcpartpicker try to find identical parts on amazon if you can:

Note: if the price is still too high I suggest going for i5 4670k instead of the i7 also I'm not sure if you want to buy the OS or not (I haven't added it) the i7 would help you with video rendering more than the i5 but for gaming they are practically the same.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3mRCR

Total cost is 1951$

Parts: INTEL CORE I7 4770K - ASROCK Z87 EXTREME 4 MOTHERBOARD - EVGA GEFORCE GTX 780 TI SUPERCLOCKED - CM HYPER 212 EVO CPU FAN - CORSAIR CARBIDE 200R - CORSAIR TX 750 WATT MODULAR PSU - 2TB SEAGATE BARRACUDDA - SAMSUNG EVO 250 GB SSD - 2x4 GB CV RAM - ASUS VX238H MONITOR - RAZER DEATHADDER 2013 MOUSE - RAZER ELECTRA HEADSET - MAD CATZ V5 GAMING KB.

4Cloud, peripherals are sometimes important to people. For people like me who work on a computer all day and then come home to play, comfort becomes a higher priority than frames. The 770 GTX will do well. One thing I think you're overlooking is the fact the OP is from Singapore. He's not going to have the prices that the US has. If I had to bet, the build you posted would be well over $2200. And it's pretty much like that everywhere outside the US. For example, a 770 GTX 2Gb is S$518 (Singapore dollar) which is $411 USD. Here in the states, the card is $340 USD. That's a good sized premium. Now maybe the OP is fine with this. But I didn't take it this way.

Also, Bam, unless you have a screen(s) with resolutions above 1920 X 1080, it's not necessary to get larger VRAM editions of a GPU from the base version.

Agreed. That's why I'm buying the graphics card from amazon.com because its cheaper. I'm getting the extra 2gb VRAM because I want it to support the next generation games whch BATTLEFIELD 4 recommended 3gb of VRAM but do you think I should bring down to 2gb and get a Gigabyte GTX770 instead of EVGA GTX 770?

Well, I did see my VRAM usage hitting the ceiling when playing BF4 (as I have a 2 GB 770). But everywhere I looked, I could never find a comparison between a 2 GB vs a 4 GB in multiplayer. In Single player there's no difference between the two cards. I do know that Windows 8 does play BF4 better. It has been shown to have a higher minimum frames than Windows 7.

Amazon is pretty big. So you're going to buy the cards from Amazon and have them shipped? That's 3.49/lb USD.

Yeah, but I'm using Free Amazon Global Saver which is a free shipping to Singapore.
