Gaming Rig Advice.

[raysfan98]

I have been looking to build a gaming PC for the past few months at and below a $500 budget. I am only a teen, struggling for money, so everything I can cut is appreciated. However, I wanted to make the best build for the money at the time which I feel I have accomplished. This is my build(http://pcpartpicker.com/user/raysfan98/saved/hP76Mp) I really want to play games like battlefield 4 at 1080p high settings or better. I was originally going to cram all this in a cooler master elite 120 advanced , but I decided against it due to air flow. The last thing I wanted was to spend this money and end up having the system overheat, therefore I went with the Fractal Design Core 1000 with USB 3.0. If you guys have suggestions for my build please, do not be afraid to upset me. ^_^.

Save up a bit more money.
Don't use Corsair CX series psu. One its not enough for a R9 280 and it cheap quality.
Look for XFX 550W, EVGA 600B or Seasonic 520W.

Thanks for the response, I have looked around and found an EVGA 500w PSU. I was wondering if you think that would be sufficient for this build, PCpartpicker says it will.

Go with the 600W version rather than the 500W.
