How's This Build for Battlefield 4 and Ghosts? I'm Aware the Min's Haven't Been Released...

[xChriis]

I'm assuming that you guys can help me out here. I want to get into PC gaming since I've been having to use a semi-decent laptop for a long time. I haven't been able to play many of the games I want to soo...I'm trying to get my foot in the door. On top of what I have in the build, I'll probably get another identical graphics card and another identical set of RAM in a few months.

How will the build handle the way it is now?
How will the build handle with the extra card and RAM?

(I'll probably OC the processor.)

I'm not looking for Ultra settings, just not the minimums.

I support both of these. Very nice builds Marcopolo123.

Edited and updated with some of your ideas. The 2nd GPU and RAM set will be bought down the road, otherwise I'd use the money for a better one now. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1GWJ0

hd 7950 cost ~200$ yours is ~290$..

From what I've seen, and correct me if I'm wrong, but Haswell seems like a more expensive version of Ivy Bridge that uses a little less power. I haven't seen anywhere talking about performance improvements.

doesnt cost much more, performance is slightly higher, its newer.
