That's a more balanced build that will run Battlefield a bit worse than the i5 version, but will run almost any other game better because of the graphics card. I assume that GTA V will make big use of the GPU and not so much of the CPU. The i3 has four threads, so it should be up to the task of most present day games. If you want me to I can make changes to the build. One last thing is that I can't guarantee how good the power supply is.

ok, i'd like an amd processor, such as an AMD FX-4350 4.2 ghz quad core cpu. and a
Asus Radeon R9 270X 2GB DirectCU II Video Card. Can you design a good build from that for my needs for 550$(asd) or a bit less.

I could but... both the i3 CPU and the R9 280 are superior components to the ones you've requested. Also, the current motherboard offers a better upgrade path than an AMD board would as well. Are you really sure you want me to make you a build with weaker components than the ones I proposed and for the same price as well?

ok, but i need you to add a super cheap, like 14$ optical drive. and a power supply, and have the base price 550 or less.

I have already added a optical drive and the case has an intergrated 500 watt PSU: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/MpjtsY

However, the base price is still 560. I can't see any way to lower that below 550 without making a significant downgrade or removing the optical drive. I assume 10$ aren't going to be a problem?

i know, i just realized that, and i made it work for me. i already have ram. ram isnt a big quality right? standard 8gb ram will work okay, will it? i will mainly be running the games listed if that.

As long as it is DDR3 and not some several years old DDR2 RAM, it will work perfectly.
