Hi Everyone!
I was wondering what you thought of this build. I am planning to buy this week. I will be using the PC as of right now for mostly older strategy/RTS games like Civilization and Total War and for work(mostly just multiple instances of excel and many browser tabs open). What do you think?

I know the Video Card will be a bottleneck, but since I wouldn't be doing too much intense FPS gaming in the near future its always possible to upgrade this in the future if I wanted to. That being said, how do you think this setup would handle BF4? (Just want to gauge the potential)
Thanks in advance!
