[Cosmic77]

How is this, after looking around on this site for a while, how will this build run Minecraft(recording) and maybe Battlefield 4 at 1600x900 resolution?

You should run BF4 at http://www.hardocp.com/article/2014/06/23/asus_r7_260x_directcu_ii_oc_video_card_review/5#.VC4o8fmSx2E

What you've got is OK. Not great. Just OK. That's all you get for $580 With Peripherals

i thought the h81 MSI boards needed a bios flash for the haswell e chips to work and overclock which means people needed a compatible CPU beforehand?

This is why I'm leaning to the Athlon and not the G3258 because I really don't want to have to mess with overclocking and that kind of stuff, and the good MoBo's for the Pentium are kinda expensive for my budget.
