Hi everyone thank you for taking a look at my build. I already have the ssd, hdd, case, processor ,and OS. I just decided to post everything thats going to go into the build. I know I have room for improvement and thats why I want to get some feedback on which components i could maybe upgrade. Now my budget is 1000 usd and i believe i have about 510 in parts. 658 dollars already in use with the new parts so leaving me with about 341 to play around with.

I would really like a computer that will be able to play bf4, crysis 3 and all those good games on ultra lol. Again, thank you for taking the time to look at my thread.

First of all, your CPU is not for gaming. An i5 performs with more fps than that fx. If you go for the i5 (recommended) you will need to change your MOTHERBOARD (probably with an 1150 or 1155 socket). Also, if you go for i5, an NVidia GPU would perform better than an ati one. I would recommend the GTX 770

i5 4*** series will only fit in the 1150 socket. Also, he said that he already bought the cpu so we cannot do anything. Nvidia is way more expensive than AMD and for a gaming build any one is great for gaming. AMD cards are cheaper but provide the same performance as their Nvidia counterparts

My mistake, didn't read that he bought already the fx. If he can, he might want to go for an R9 280X or an R9 290X. The 290X is much more expensive, but it is pretty good for gaming, but with the 290X watch out the load, you don't want to push that card to the limits because you will have heat problems.

Dude, the 280 can play most games on ultra at 40 FPS so it is perfectly fine. If he wants, he can later upgrade to the 290X

I would go with and 280x becuase I can later not only upgrade it with the 290X, but also crlssfire with the 290X
