I was wondering if this was an ok Gaming PC to get me through games like BF4, Bioshock, LoL, TF2 and maybe DayZ at lowest settings... Please leave feedback, thanks.
P.S. I will be upgrading almost as soon as a get it since i will get a job over the summer, this will just be getting me into PC gaming for about 6 months at the most.
P.S.S. I already have a Hard Drive so thats not included

By upgrading in the future, do you plan on upgrading everything besides RAM and the case? If so, there are better options for 'not-much-upgrade-potential' build that I can think of.
If not, then it's pretty much the most you can get out of $300 excluding OS.
The build that you've purposed will probably be able to run at 720p, because of the CPU being very low end.

I would probably plan on upgrading the CPU first then RAM then GPU and then whatever else from there.

He needs an OS and case.

Here is a build that will perform better, but keep in mind that the CPU/MB have no upgrade potential. BTW that R7 260X you found is a treasure, $99.99 is so cheap lol

How long do you think this build would last me?

 

[IDontUnderstand]

A year or two depending on how low of settings and resolutions you're willing to go.

This build is capable of 1080p medium in most games for at least a year.
