I haven't built a PC in over 5 years and im thinking that its time to hop back up on the horse. Speaking in todays terms is this a good starter build to run BF4, Titanfall and AC4 on max and be able to upgrade in the long term? Xfire cards, better ram if necessary, etc. . I also have around an extra $300 to play with. I have a monitor, keyboard and mouse. So throw me your suggestions and advice.
Thanks,
Sean
ISH... except for 2 things that stick out to me.
1) XFX HD 7850 is a decent graphics card, but just below the recommended card for BF4 (though way above the minimum one) >>> Will it allow you to play Ultra? Yes but at low FPS. You would probably enjoy playing it at Medium/High with better FPS.
The Problem:
1GB VRAM isn't enough, you should be looking at 2GB VRAM.
2) Raidax PSU.
The Problem: Stands out as a no. Under other opinions and reviews,
people brand this as a Tier 5 - 'do not touch this brand' PSU. I would suggest looking into Corsair, Seasonic. >>>

Because the one you provided was a Newegg Combo $620 CDN, it's pretty damn cheap. I put together a build by replacing a few components - but trying to keep it as low as possible. If you wanted to use your full $300, you can select a better GPU - like a HD 7970/GTX 770. But you'll have to play around with certain things to keep it below budget.
