I have this in mind:

Will this desktop be able to play Minecraft, CoD and Battlefield on regular or high settings?

No, you need a better GPU. Also, that RAM is designed for laptops (SODIMM is for laptops, DIMM is for desktops).

That build is really messed up.

Try to look for something like this

CPU : FX-6300
MOBO : *Any 970 Chipset motherboard*
RAM: *Any 2x4GB 1600MHz 1.5v desktop RAM*
GPU : R7 250x or better
PSU: Corsair CX500 or better
HDD : Western digital Caviar Blue 1TB

IRONBATMAN :

Sorry, this is the first desktop I put togeather, and I have had a laptop before

Rumanoid · Jun 22, 2014

Better now? I edited the setup, it still has the same link

Rumanoid :

The ram you selected is laptop memory, swap it out for a single 4GB stick of DDR3 ram 1600mhz and above. or 2x2GB sticks if you plan to upgrade to a max of 8GB ram.

Also the graphics card you picked out will struggle trying to run battlefield at med- high settings. In order to upgrade the graphics card:

- Swap the CPU for a FX 6300. The 6350 is the same thing, but overclocked.
- Get a cheaper motherboard with a 970, 990x, or 990fx chipset.
- Drop the SSD

For the graphics card try to look for a GTX 660, HD 7870, R9 270.

Or if those options are too expensive

- HD 7790, HD 7850, GTX 750ti, R7 265.

If I click the original link, it shows me your original setup, not the updated one.

Change the PSU to something like this: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2192439/1000-pounds-intel-build.html
Looks pretty good otherwise.

Any games you suspect will not work on this beast?

Eduello · Jun 25, 2014

That should be able to run all games out there if you're fine with keeping the settings down for some of them.

Rumanoid · Jun 26, 2014

Wat improvements could I make to run games on higher settings? And what would be a good case? (I like Red and Black)

Eduello · Jun 27, 2014

The case is really up to personal preference, but this should do pretty well: http://nl.hardware.info/productinfo/200857/corsair-graphite-230t-red

If you want more gaming performance, you'll need a stronger GPU: http://nl.hardware.info/productinfo/199657/msi-radeon-r9-270x-gaming-2gb
It might also be a good idea to get a stronger PSU to accompany that GPU: http://nl.hardware.info/productinfo/119308/xfx-pro-series-550w-core-edition
