Good build. I recommend getting the cheaper FX8320 and stepping up to the GTX770. You could save another £10 by getting the 620w SeaSonic 80+ Bronze psu.

Excellent build. Improvements. get 8320 instead. It overclocks like the 8350. Also, stick with a 280x but get a more reputable brand. PSU is excellent.

the 8320 costs 104 pounds from amazon but i can get it for 100 from a friend also from benchmarks the 280x does bf4 better instead of the 700 therefore i want the 280x as its the only game really play also modular psu only and i was going to either get a msi , aus ,windofroce or toxic 280x :)  no diceided yet

I chose the 280x over 770 and haven't looked back. Skip the Toxic as it is loud. Windforce and Asus are good choices. Skip MSI. I love MSI but reviews aren't good of the 280x.

If the 8320 is the same price as the 8350 then get the 8350.

btw, delete your 2 posts that repeat please.

You should see a fairly solid 60fps@1080p on BF4, as for San Andreas you will max your FPS very easily, as half this card could run the game at 100s of FPS.

You will have to revalidate probably. If you change the CPU and PSU, then restart, then change the GPU you'll be fine, but if you change all at once you will probably have to re-enter your key.

Windows is locked to the motherboard, but a certain number of other system changes will trigger a re-validation anyway.

I don't know how much you are paying for it really, but I would upgrade to something with a backplate and 3.5" bays with clips on them. Try the Antec 300
