(Typo on the name I don't steal)
Hey guys its my first time on this forum so please be nice if I do make any mistakes, but on to the question!
So I am going to build a Gaming PC (my first one) for Battlefield 4 on ultra or near ultra settings with 3-4 MSAA. Here is my build

CPU: FX 8320
GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 280X
Ram: G. Skill F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL DDR3 2133
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+
Power Supply: Corsair CX 600 (Might get 750 Watt for future upgrading)
Case: NZXT Guardian 921 RB (Looks awesome!)
Hard Drive: WD Blue 1 TB 7200 RPM Desktop Hard Drive
My main questions are:
1. Can later on I upgrade to and r90x/gtx 780ti or would I need something different?
2. What might be a better,cheaper case (don't care about looks)?
3. What difficulties might come in the future?
4. Should I wait till late July-early August for some back to school deals?
5. What difficulties might I face in the future?
6. If I get a second R9 280X will I need a bigger power supply?
Additional Details:
-I might get 2 R9 280x in the future if no better card (like R9 290X) is compatible.
-I will be building this mid July if Question #4 dosen't work.
-Willing to go $50 more on anything (ex. my Graphics Card is 300 so maybe a better Graphics Card for 250?

Sorry if its a long post and thanks!

The build looks good but to answer your questions

1 yes you could upgrade to a 780 ti or a 290x(or any pcie card)
2 a cheaper(not so pretty) case http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Black-VL80001W2Z-Tower-Gaming/dp/B002Q2M8KK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1402360353&sr=1-1&keywords=mid+tower+case

3 you should have no difficulties in the future and if you do you always have tomshardware
4your pick, do you want to have the computer now or wait to get a slightly better deal?
5none
6yes you will need at least a good 750 watt psu
