ENERMAX OSTROG ECA3253-BR ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 45$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811124147

Im curious if im spending way too much on a mobo or what.

Also im building this i have a few other things from another computer but if you wanna add stuff like PSU, SSD or HDD to help me.
My budget is around 400$ and im looking to get some good graphics on games like BF4 ( i have a gtx 750 ti)

You should not be getting an overclocking oriented motherboard with a locked CPU. Get an h97 board for that i5.

Honestly, a 750ti is a bit weak of a card to pair with an i5. Expect medium settings is most games at 1080p in order to lock 60fps.

Get a 550w PSU from XFX.

 

[envy14tpe]

For under $50 case, grab the Rosewill Challenger. Only thing it lacks is USB 3.0 on front but your mobo will have it on the back.
Also, save money andget a H97 instead of Z97. Z series is really for CPU overclocking.

Are you ordering all parts from US?

i am, i saw this deal with newegg its a i5 4690k qith an Msi z97 gaming 5 mobo for 350 it looks like a good deal

That combo only saves you $20 over buying separately.

I know but with a budget that 20$ seems pretty good, do these items work well with one another

im gonna have a gtx 750 ti in (for now) and 8gb of ram

im just looking to play a game like BF4 without being buggy idc to play on medium settings

 

[tiny voices]

The GPU is weak for the rest of the build for sure, but you seem to know that. Yes the build is fine. You won't really be able to get much out of that i5 in games until you upgrade the GPU.

What PSU will you be using?

 

[envy14tpe]

For most uses you won't notice difference between 4590 and 4690k. In games, there is no difference. So, we are suggesting to save money on components. Since you already own the 750ti then stick with it. If you really want to upgrade then consider addding a SSD.

20$ savings is not good for a newegg combo 50+ is good here is my recommended build for both amd and intel.

The same between the two:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108434 ($60) awesome looking and easy to work with case

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026($40) $20 rebate, and comes with 3 yr warranty on low cost psu that is a must.

Then in storage you aren't going to afford a decent ssd on $400 so I recommend this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236625

On now for the difference. For gaming I am an AMD freak. If you want more performance for less in just games AMD. If you want to record or video edit or highly cpu taxing programs then Intel all the way.

So my recommendation:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286 ($119)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131872 ($80) ($20 rebate) I have used this motherboard before for low end builds, and it works great.

With this route your mobo may not be the best but you have a great cpu that you can bump up in systems as well as a great hard drive that will last you a long time. First thing I would upgrade is gpu when you have money then invest in a better board.

The intel route

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116946 ($125) latest gen and an i3 is going to outperform the 750 ti

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132120 ($100)

With this setup once again I would upgrade that gpu first then go for a better cpu.

I would personally go amd especially for gaming but that is just me.

 

[envy14tpe]

Do you live near a Microcenter store? If so, microcenter has great CPU/Mobo combos. Also, I have heard many people say that they scored amazing deals by walking in and taking a look at what is in stock.

I really like the setup for amd, with all this could i run a game like battle field 4? And i would like to invest in a mobo that supports sli cause im lookig at getting 2 Nvidia gtx 760's

$400 is better spent on a console unless you are just going to be playing world of warcraft. If you push it up $200 more you can get something nice for yourself.

It's not much now, but unlike the other builds, this thing is meant for being expandable. Sure you could get an i5 4570 with a H87 but what happens when you get a new processor and want to overclock it? Oops too bad, h87 can't do any of that. You could get a 500 watt power supply now, but what if you happen to want to SLI or upgrade to a beefy video card? Oops again, that power supply can only go up to mid range video card. $400 is the really shallow zone, I swear if you can save up just $200 more, you can really get something decent and upgrade-able that will impress your friends and play Battlefield 4 like you want at medium settings 30 frames. You could borrow you harddrive from another computer if you have one, saving around $50 bucks.

The video card also comes with up to $100 free in games, so you could sell it on ebay and make the rig $517 dollars. If you already have parts for certain areas of this system(GPU, hard drive), just use that, saving you even more money. You'll thank me later when you want an FX 8350 or a GTX 780Ti in SLI

In my opinion the graphics card is weak your could probably get a playable 30fps, but the processor would for sure keep up with bf4 I run a fx6100 and a sapphire 6870 neither is overclocked and I get 45+ fps on BF4

If you are looking to future upgrade then here is the best option.

Buy a nice psu with a 5+ yr warrenty something like a 1000w if you are looking at running sli.
Then Buy a nice big case that you are in love with.
Buy a good ssd and a good hardrive.

Then use cheap parts to fill in the rest. Then when money comes upgrade those parts.

Things like hardrives and psu technology doesnt move nearly as fast as something like a cpu or gpu. I bought an awsome am3 motherboard, but by the time I got around to purchasing a decent cpu for it that socket style was abandoned for am3+. GPU's seem to have a new line almost yearly and move faster than cpu's, but the sockets stay the same. Get great core items then build from there. Take it from a guy who did the exact same thing as you and wasted wayyyyy tooooooo much money doing so.
