I have had to put up with an awful computer for a while now and i think it's time to build a powerful Micro Atx one.

This is what i've come up with.

Cpu: i5 4670k

Motherboard: ASUS Gryphon Z87 Motherboard

Case: Silverstone SG09 Black Case USB 3.0

Memory: G.Skill Sniper F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3

Cpu cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Storage+SSD: WD Blue 1TB+ Samsung 840 Evo 120 Gb

Gpu: MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming 4GB

Monitor: BenQ RL2455HM 24in LED Gaming Monitor

Psu:FSP Aurum Series 650W 80 PLUS Gold Modular

That's about all.

Final price: $1726 AUD

So, what do you guys think?

Will it tackle games like Battlefield 4 On ultra graphics?

Would you guys change anything?

I appreciate the help.

I will be overclocking.

Looks like a good build. Though it is on the more expensive side though.
You can get better than a R9 290 and a i5 4670K for $1726 AUD, which is 1614 USD, but I can't give you a different build because I don't know the prices of things in Australia, and I'm guessing the parts are way more expensive.

I built your build in Australia, I'm missing the Case and the Cooler price though, so you will have to buy that locally.
