A new gaming rig
I'm building a new computer soon, and trying out different parts. I'd like the PC to be some what future proof. I'd also like it to play games like: Battlefield 3 and 4, Far Cry 3, and Skyrim at at LEAST medium to high settings. Feel free to leave feedback. (Please not I won't be overclocking my CPU or GPU any time soon.)

Case: NZXT Source 210 Elite Black Steel (Love this case by the way)

CPU: AMD FX-8320 Vishera 8-Core

GPU: MSI R9 280 GAMING 3G

Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda ES.2 ST31000340NS 1TB

Memory: G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 AM3+ AMD 970

PSU: Rosewill ARC 750 Continuous 750W

The Z97 boards are more into future proof as they will support 5th gen intel processors.
