I am looking to build myself a new PC.I would like to run games such as Battlefield 4 and heavily modded Minecraft. I have been poking around for awhile and I have put together this list:
AMD FX-4300 Black Edition 4-Core Socket AM3+ CPU Processor
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler
Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P AM3+ Motherboard
G.SKILL RipjawsX 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 2400MHz Memory F3-2400C11D-8GXM DDR3
Seagate ST1000DM003 1TB Barracuda Desktop HDD 3.5” 7200RPM SATA3 Hard Drive
Gigabyte Radeon R9 270 Overclock 2GB Video Card
BitFenix Shinobi Black Case USB 3.0
Seasonic G series 450W PSU 80Plus Gold
LG 24x Internal SATA OEM DVD Burner Drive GH24NSB0
All in all this would cost me around $850 Australian. If you have any suggestions please try not to go over that amount.

Thanks, Kobi

Great build, only thing I would change is possibly upgrade the motherboard if possible but budget constraints can get in the way of that so is it possible for you to change your build a bit, maybe cut back a bit on other parts to get a H97 or later motherboard as B85 isn't going to be worth it in the long run.

Its 50$ over your current budget but its worth the extra bucks when you are getting a better processor and a much better card for that price.

Sparestuff you are right. I chose that motherboard just to fit in the budget. If i was building that pc for me i would get a H97 mobo since it is something like $20 more.
@prit87: you know that there isnt a cpu within that $900?
