Are there any improvements you would make to this gaming PC?

Alex31313 · Nov 16, 2014

Hello everyone,
After doing some research online, I have chosen the parts for my first gaming PC. My budget is around or under $750. I would like to play games like battlefield 4 at ultra settings at 60 fps if possible. What changes would you make to my build? And will it do what I want? I already have peripherals as well as an OS. The more feedback the merrier, thanks!
