The mother board is the MSI MSI Gaming 970 Gaming AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 and SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

The video card i am using is the EVGA 02G-P4-3753-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card

The processor is the AMD FX-4300 Vishera Quad-Core 3.8GHz (4.0GHz) Socket AM3+ 95W FD4300WMHKBOX Desktop Processor

The ram i am using is the G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Intel Z170 Platform / Intel X99 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-2400C15S-8GVR

The power supply i am using is the EVGA 100-W1-500-KR 500W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Continuous Power Supply Intel 4th Gen CPU Ready

Those are the parts i am using to make a gaming pc if some one see something wrong or thinks i can get a better part for around the same price please tell me i also already have a case and hard drive thank you

No that will not work. That motherboard is AMD and processor is Intel. You don't need that cooler, the cooler that comes with the Intel is fine. That PSU is far worse quality than the one I selected, The GPU is an older GPU vs the one I selected and is slower.

Is there anything you have against the build I put together? Is it aesthetics or something?

This is a variation on the build that Dunlop suggested above

It hits your $400 price point exactly and is significantly faster:

This should be able to easily run Battlefield on medium settings at 1080p. The CPU and GPU are significantly faster than the ones you selected. The PSU is FAR better quality and the RAM matches (the original build that ram you selected will not work with it anyway).

No. The motherboard and CPU are incompatible. Rogue Leader gave you a build that is better than yours at all points.

Don't buy the 750ti, not when you can get the GTX 950 within your budget. Its faster and has far better support for all the features of DirectX 12 which is going to power Battlefield 1 and all new games.
 
If you're interested in how that computer will perform real-world, here's my url=http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/q1-2016-system-builder-marathon-662-dollar-budget-pc,4523-2.html]last SBM article[/url] that used the same i3 CPU and 950 GPU.
