I just made a build, which hopefully runs everything that I want. Only problem is, the GPU is 241mm long, and pcpartpicker says it might block a few drive bays. Also wondering if this will handle Battlefield 4 on ultra at approximately 60 frames a second.

Have you bought it yet? Because you can do a LOT better for the money if gaming is what you want.

I would make a post with your budget and ask for help.

I haven't bought it yet, but I tried doing a ~$1200 build that turned out to be around $1400 so I made this. I went for all the best reviews and best prices and made sure the companies were reputable. So how much better could I do?

As an aside, you could drop the ssd. No fps gains there. And jump up to a z97 mobo + k series i5.

No need to overclock right off the bat, but would give you the option of buying an aftermarket cpu cooler in the future and OC'ing if you ever needed it.

You can always add an aftermarket cpu cooler/ssd down the line.


Like house hunting you want to have the best "bones" at the start.
