Asus AMD Radeon R9 280 DirectCU II Top Graphics Card (3GB, GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0)

CPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor

motherboard: MSI 970 GAMING ATX AM3+ Motherboard

SSD: Crucial MX100 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

RAM:
Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL9 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit Black

Nothing wrong with that build. I'd recommend getting a 990FX board if you want to OC, but regardless, you'll be good for gaming. I'd say you'd get 60fps on BF4 high settings low AA. DayZ will struggle to run well because it's horribly optimized (Think of games like AC Unity or Watch Dogs)

Cheers man :D I'll see about that 8320 now. You really stopped me worrying, I've been making this build for a while trying to make sure it's perfect. So thanks :D

Get the R9 280X instead. I currently have an R9 280, and there isn't a single water block on the market for it. I love the card, but as I look to watercool, I am out of options but an upgrade!
