Is everything compatible? This my first gaming build and i want to make sure i can run BF4 on all ultra 1080p.
Suggestions are welcome.

everything looks great except you dont really need that thermaltake water cooler, you can get better performance from an air cooler like a phanteks or a noctua without having to deal with water and its maintenance and possible user error. other than that its a solid build... where are you getting these parts, microcenter? you have manually entered part prices.

Personally, I would not use the selected PSU. Rather, you should get a quality unit from Seasonic, Corsair, or XFX (for example). Spending a couple more $$$ now will save you headaches (and a new PSU) in the future.

First thoughts: Change the power supply, probably go with 8GB of ram, and that motherboard probably won't overclock well.

good call, i totally missed that power supply.... definitely need to give us some more options since that is not a very good power supply at all..... NEVER skimp out of a quality power supply.....

for battlefield 4 i would definitely go with a 280x for the same price as the 770

Tazz4795 · Apr 29, 2014

I have a 850$ budget and i have 4gb of ram on there because i already have 8gb i intend to use with it

Tazz4795 · Apr 29, 2014

any good motherboard suggestions for around 70-90$ for overclocking with this build?

Tazz4795 · Apr 29, 2014

This is my revised build. Any thoughts? http://pcpartpicker.com/user/tazz4795/saved/4wNP

the LE version you picked out doesnt have heatsinks on the vrms, if your going to overclock you dont want the LE version, thats why its so cheap since amd and many others do not recommend anything higher then a very light overclock on that board.
