Hi guys
I live in South Africa so PC components are kinda expensive.This is my first time building a PC. I have come Up with a build for R10 768(including shipping)($1768) from Wootware.co.za.
Please can u guys advise me on the kinds of performance I would get as well as any small additions I should make(fans etc) or other places to get the components cheaper as well as whether wootware is trustworthy.
I know that an SSD would be a too option but I have a strict budget, so saving it for upgrades.I also do not have a monitor and will use my 32" Samsung TV and HDMI for a screen as well as audio.

with a computer like this you should be able to play battlefield 4 at ultra settings (performance changes dramatically depending on what AA and AF settings you have on. best performance is both of them off). for a CPU cooler you can get away with the stock cooler the processor comes with IF you don't plan on over clocking. for the power supply you could go with an XFX 550 watt or an EVGA 600 watt (that should save you a little bit of money).
