This'll be a bad computer for Battlefield, considering you can get MUCH MUCH MUCH more GPU power than this. Gimme a budget and I'll just fix this up.

yeah.. op is spending money in the wrong places. an i5 and better gpu is where i'd start... he doesn't need a 1000W psu either... nor a asus maximus hero motherboard... yikes. wasted money everywhere except at the GPU, there the OP underspends

 

[Alectfenrir]

I recommend you downgrade your CPU and Power supply in favour for a better GPU.

Change your PSU to a 750W, 1000W is overkill. And change your Processor to the i5 4690k. The i7 performance increase is not huge in comparison to the i5. The i5 is the best bang for your buck.

Then use your money to buy yourself a GTX 970, it will last you for a long time. The GTX 750 is a mid range card whereas the GTX 970 is a high end card.

All in all, solid build.

Sounds like the OP has a high budget, might as well as spend that money for the Hero. Its a great board, especially for FPS games (in which he states he is going to play)

 

[okcnaline]

Guess what? GTX 750's roughly $100. He has better luck saving that on a GTX 970, which is LEGITIMATELY better. If he has that money, he can grab himself a GTX 970 instead!!!!!!!!!! Gosh dang it, Alectfenrir. Even if it's a great board, he has a bad GPU.

the internal parts are all matching the gpu's color scheme (black and yellow), so yellow ram, black and yellow motherboard, black cpu cooler... black psu.

overall i think it will be a sharp looking build. and it will play your games very well.

Yeah I also stated in my previous post that he should also get the i5 4690k AND the 970, by downgrading the i7 and the PSU >.<

Does 512 MB matter?! xD It's merely 512 MB, fine for freaking 1080P. Killed a little of my trust for nVidia, but I am 100% satisfied with the performance either way.
