http://pcpartpicker.com/p/98LP8d Is this a good pc build for $800? Don't give me a list of something completely different like a AMD processor or a radeon gpu, I just want to know if everything is compatible and if it is a good build. I would also like to know if there is going to be a bottleneck between the gpu and cpu. How good will this rig perform? can it run BF4 fast? am i able to record it? Thanks! p.s. i already have a windows installation disk

You need a Z97 Motherboard and since you're not overclocking ( Your CPU is not unlocked ) maybe going for a Micro Atx makes more sense to save more money towards a better GPU as well as you need a better Power Supply ( Eg: XFX , Seasonic , Antec or EVGA's supernova series but that can be little bit out of budget so yeah XFX is the cheapest/reliable brand ).

The CPU should be changed to an 4460 and the board to an h97. The PSU is low quality and should be changed to an XFX, Seasonic, Antec.
Get a cheaper case like a Corsair 300r and use the saved money to get a better GPU like a 270x.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/krrDQ7 how is this?

A while ago on these forums i kept saying to choose seasonic over corsair at the same price and everyone was yelling at me. Times are changing...
I agree , I thought Corsair was reliable till the CX/S series , Seasonic are far more efficient and cost effective. You're right mate times are indeed changing.

PSU is WAY overkill. get the 550w version and use the money saved for a better GPU.

Still, get a better GPU like a 270x. i heard that card is very loud. Is that true?
100% depends on the cooler. I have seen a few working, and I would say no it is not louder than any other GPU.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KpH26h Will i be able to record major games like BF4 also would i be able to stream with this build? thanks.

Yes looks great. Will record easily.Streaming will depend on your internet connection and WIFI is not recommended, but the system will handle it, yes. what is your internet speed? Use speedtest.net to find this out.
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3679521057 not sure if it's good. when i download i get a avg of 1.3 mbps but my highest was 15mbps

Dude, the 750ti is considered a budget card! The i5 needs something more powerful like AT LEAST a 760. I'd recommend a 770 anyway...cheatmmongul said:

Be wary of the compatibility issues , I think for the price my build is kinda better. I don't want to seem self centered but its your money so spend it the way you want to.

I want to keep the Intel because i don't want to switch mobos in the future. know you may say just update the AMD but i know so much more about Intel and i'm not sure why. lol

Yes you can get an i7 in the future (no to any AMD CPU or any i7 that isn't the correct socket), but it won't game any better than an i5. A GPU upgrade always comes before a CPU upgrade in a gaming computer. You can always use any GPU with any system. No real compatibility issues there.
Thanks so much!
