this build was created by other users of this site, and i made a couple changes. any comments? suggestions?
my budget is 1500$ and the build achieved the budget which is great.
main concern is if it will run BF4 on ultra 60+ FPS and if i got room to maybe upgrade parts in the future.

Haha I think you followed my suggestion and change the parts.

GPU: Is reference design, cooling system is weaker.

PSU: As what you have stated in the other thread that you wanted to upgrade in the future, you should get a higher Wattage PSU (850W for SLI).

SSD: You don`t need that 480GB SSD, get a 120GB and 2TB HDD then add the extra money on GPU and PSU.

Memory: better opt for 1866Mhz rather than 2400Mhz for Haswell chips supports the 1866Mhz RAM.

Yes, I keep asking to get as much feed back from different people as I can, the more info I can get the better.
I just want to make sure that once I buy and build I'll be completely happy and not not think that I could have gotten something better.
Alright, well I'll go back to 120gb SSD and 1600/1866 ram and upgrade to a higher wattage psu.
so is there a better gpu that I should look into?
