Hello, I used to be a big console gamer but for years I've wanted to get into PC gaming and I have but am very limited with the crappy computer I am using at the moment and I've decided it is time that I finally switch over and invest in a gaming PC.
I mainly play FPS games and a few MMOs. The most demanding games that I play are BF3/4 and DayZ.
I don't know too much about computer parts and what is best for what but I was recommended this build here

and I would like to here an opinion from all of you and what I should add or change to get the best bang of my buck!

Intel cpus get hot very easily so I suggest an aftermarket cooler even if you don't overclock

Sorry if this is a stupid question but would this be able to run BF4 at 60+ fps? Also, a lot of builds had around 650W Does having more watts add anything to performance? I'm not going to be overclocking or anything like that but I will probably upgrade in the future.
