Hey hardware guys out there! I'm alien to this world of hardware, I simply dont speak you guys' language (Im fluent in english,c++ and a little Espanol) but im trying! A lot of these things i dont understand. I'm looking to ditch the pc's and build that famous 'console killer' that will last me at least to the 'next next gen' of gaming.

I have found this $600 build which should fair me well when it comes to exceeding the ps4 and running games like bf4 on ultra or high(i think, please tell me if otherwise).

So on to my main question/request, are there cheaper or better parts out there that can be replaced in this build? What do you think of it? Will it run bf4 on ultra or even newer games on ultra?
I essentially want to optimize this build but since i dont know jack squat about the hierarchy of things like cpu's and gpu's i barely know where to start.

Please note, there are 4gb of ram instead of 8 & 500gb instead of 1tb of storage because the person who made this wanted to have more money to put into the Graphics card. Is this a good idea?

And sorry if this is the wrong section, couldn't find a build section.
 
Solution
It looks pretty good but I really must insist on 8GB instead of 4GB. It's really only 20 dollars more

The PSU will work but there is a 500 watt evga PSU for 30 after MIR on newegg.

Having the two pcie cables will offer more stability if he were to overclock the card with a more stable psu. The 760 requires 2 6 pin connectors, adapters are ok I guess but not using them is a plus for overclocking

The motherboard could take a 20 dollar upgrade to this maybe

The extra oc ability is worth 20 bucks,

If you feel you might want to keep what you have, it will work perfectly.


Okay so right now it makes a lot of sence to go with our $675 build but drop down to a 6 core and greatly reduce the price. But I'm concerned that even though it may not have an immediate effect on my build, will it hurt me a lot in the long run?
 


I like that build, thats a good compromise! :)
