I'm about to build a budget gaming PC and I'm not sure if the build is good enough.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sM6FHx this is the build I've made, is it good for the price range? How can I improve it? The budget is around 600-700.
Any kind of help is appreciated!:)

I have a build that's identical to his except for I have an R9 270 with an over clocked 6300 to 4ghz. It's amazing on every game I have. The $700 build is good for gaming. You don't need to spend that much to get good performance

After doing a bit of research I found a MSI GTX 780 Lightning (http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N780-Lightning.html#hero-overview) for 300, worth it? The price difference is only like 80 to the 270x here where I live. A 280x is also 300 here.

The 780 is certainly more powerful. So much so that in some games it would take a overclocked FX 83xx or a 9xxx to not hold it back. As for BF4... it uses many cpu threads so its optimization makes it not an issue but most games use 1 or 2 threads currently.

I would recommend a i5 setup with the 780 but a overclocked 8320 will still give good frames per second.
