Computer price reduction and performance

[ABrandt]

After asking around, I have found some components, that when all put into Amazon, comes to about $805, higher than what I would like, including shipping and tax. Now my question is how will will this perform on games such as Battlefield 4 and Planetside 2, and can I make it cheaper still without sacrificing performance?

This seems good but from what I have seen Rosewill is a terrible PSU maker and it will most likely be a low quality product. The case is cheaper, but I want to get a solid case that looks nice for future expansion when I am on a bigger budget. Some parts, like the CPU cooler and 270x for only $15 more will be great. Thanks for the help.

Rosewill had some low quality units, especially in the past; they have however redeemed themselves over the last few years.
You should have no hesitation in buying capstone, lightning, and hive series. The verdict is still out on the ARC serries, and the green series should only be used in office workstations and not gaming machines.
