This is the build I hope to be getting soon ( http://pcpartpicker.com/p/H3LfVn ). If the link doesn't work the parts are
CPU Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core

Motherboard Gigabyte GA-B85M-D2V Micro ATX LGA1150

Memory G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600

Storage Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM

Video Card MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB TWIN FROZR

Case Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower

Power Supply XFX 550W ATX12V / EPS12V

Its my first PC ill be putting together on my own, its also basically all of my money. I would really love to get some opinions and feedback on the parts I've chosen and the quality of what I'm getting because I honestly have not a clue about the quality of parts/differences in brands. I just want to make sure I'm not going to try doing this on my own and realize I payed for parts that don't fit together or aren't good quality. I know as of now there's no OS in this build because I plan on buying that a little later on. Also any knowledge on how this build would run games like Battlefield 4, and Arma 3 would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :D

At 1080P you probably could run Ultra on BF4. Might have to turn down MSAA to 2x or off if you get some frame drops. Plug those parts into http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ and see what it looks like. It will tell you if something is not compatible.

The only thing I see missing is the OS. But you may already have a copy! Maybe add an optical drive just in case. Other than that looks good to me!
