hey all, I have been saving up money over the past few months

I really, really want to play Planetside 2, Battlefield 4 and titan fall at reasonable graphics settings

I already have an asus 22" 1080p monitor and a razer headset

I just found this video on utube for a $300 build:

is this good? do u have any recommendations or parts I should get instead??

the hard drive looks nice, but I kinda want an SSD

any cheap SSDs for Black Friday?

This is probably the best you can get.
Great sale on the gpu, psu, case, and motherboard.
Getting a SSD at this budget is stupid.
