You didn't say what resolution you are going to be at?

If you are at anything up to 1080p, this system will run most current and future games at high-ultra settings 60fps+.

sorry i tottaly forgot about it im gonna be gaming in 1080p only

In that case, you should be fine with a system like the one I listed.

At 1080p, my GTX 760 can run BF4 at 55 fps minimum on all MP maps.

The frame rate would occasionally drop to ~40-45 fps in the campaign, but that is still more than playable.

About the only things that I have trouble with is running max settings on Metro Last Light and Crysis 3.

But, as most people know, both of those games require a very high end PC in order to play maxed out at playable frame rates.

Well it looks like a very playable gameplay.The framerates are also acceptable with the drops.But one thing that bothers me with this build is the processor.i own an amd processor,throughout 7 years i have been having TONS of issues overheat,and sometimes it didnt even work for some reason after 2 refunds on am2 socket i still had been encountering a lot of problems and i was considering an intel 4690 or the unlocked edition for my new build.It costs much more than the 6300 but i see very good ratings about it every day lately

The Hyper 212 EVO that is included in that build will help to keep the CPU cool.

I moved from a FX 6300 to an i7 4770K in January.

Before I got the i7, my build was essentially the same as the one i suggested for you, except i was using the stock cooler.

I was sitting at around 35C idle, overclocked to 4GHz. In gaming, i was sitting at around 65C.
With the Hyper 212 EVO, you should get better temperatures than that, so i wouldn't worry.

The FX 6300 has lower single thread performance, but it's multi-threaded performance is usually close to, or better than the 4670K.
