Yes but I would invest in a good aftermarket CPU cooler such as the Hyper Evo 212 (Make sure it'll fit your case!) to help keep temps down during long gaming sessions. Also you may want to grab a larger PSU like 850W+ only because it seems like games are utilizing more VRAM and eventually you'll probably want to grab a second gpu so you can run crossfire. All in all its a good build that should last awhile. Also what is your HD or SSD? An SSD is almost essential for BF4 due to longer loading screens then your average FPS. I had about 2 min loading screens with a old WD Raptor and went down to about 25 seconds with a samsung 840 pro.

Sorry its my fault for not adding that.....im buying a 128gb ssd along with hyper evo 212 cooler....so what do you think of my build????


I think it's a really good AMD build that should last a few years. I would still go with a larger powersupply though so you'll have extra power for future upgrades but 600W is fine for now (if you've already purchased it). Also if you do get a bigger PSU I'd recomend EVGA since the XR edition of there power supplies have a 10 year warranty as long as you register within 30 days of purchase.

I have not yet purchased my psu or any of the components cause im buying it next month...so which psu will you recommend that can last for many days(according to the power that my build may take)


So I made an estimate using wattage from PCPartpicker...
System Estimate=489 Watts
System in Crossfire Estimate=739 Watts

EVGA 220-G2-0850-XR or EVGA 120-G2-1000-XR
*I currently have the 850w in my desktop gamer and have had no issues*

CPUs don't really matter much in gaming, as i have a 6350 and can still max out most games because of my GPU (R9 280).

At 1080P you can max out almost all new games.

And also what brand PSU have you selected?
