$600 Gaming PC

[TJReed]

So I am just about ready to order the parts for my second build and would like opinions on it. Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FkGKQ7. I am mainly trying to achieve constant 60 fps on medium-high settings 1080p with the most demanding game I will play being Battlefield 4. I had to cheap out on the motherboard a lot as it was the only way I could afford an I5, something I wanted to ensure the computer would last a while. I will most likely wait for the 300 series and get the 380. I want the computer to last a few years before I have to upgrade it. Any opinions or advice for my build would be greatly appreciated.

The build is good, but I recommend nVIDIA GPU
