First time building a gaming PC

[bizzare21]

This is my first time building a PC. I want to know if these specs can play BF4 and GTA5 on medium to high settings. (of course when those games come out). I'm not a MMORPG person, I don't play WOW or Skyrim. Also I'm an average gamer, I play like 4 hrs. a week. Please feel free to note any changes that I can make to this list. And I'm on a budget of $650. Also is my aftermarket cooler gonna' fit my case? And Is my motherboard good for Overclocking? Because I'm planning on doing so. Thanks!

I think this will be much powerful, you can OC easily and the VGA is STRONGER , 8GB of ram should suffice you for games you mention and the AM cooler will fit inside no worries.

BEST LUCK

Better fx 6300 then fx 4300
Or phenom 965 is actualy ok

FX-6300 is definitely better than 4300, FX-4300 is better than Phenom II 965 and consumes less power (95w comparing to 125w).

It's all due to budget limitation.
