This is my first build and I have no clue what I am doing honestly... So here is what I have so far on my list:

1. Case- Corsair Obsidian 650D
2. Power Supply- Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt ATX/EPS 80 Plus (CX600)
3. Motherboard- Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+AMD 970 SARA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
4. CPU- AMD FX 6300 Black
5. Memory- Kingston Technology HyperX 8 GB (2x4 GB modules) 1600 MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Kit (PC3 12800) 240-Pin SDRAM KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX
6.Video Card- VGA MSI| N660 Gaming 2GD5/OC R
7. Storage- Not sure on how to select a good hard drive
8.Optical Drive- Also not sure
9. Monitor- Asus VS247H-P
  1.  


If anyone has any ideas on better stuff for this build or something I picked is not compatible with something else please feel free to let me know because I pretty much just randomly picked out this stuff, but was told that the AMD FX 6300 would be best for BF4 and other good graphic games.

Sorry I didn't mean to select that as best solution... That's twice I've done that. Well I have the graphics card and the Monitor so I would say my budget is around $600-$800

Godddd I don't know why they put the "best solution" button right next to reply in the email...

But anyways yes the monitor is 1080p and I have the "MSI N660 TF 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card"
