I had to lower the processor to I3 4130 from a I5 4460 because it was passed my budget by $100 dollers and I need the computer now.

This is the bench marks for Advanced warfare,

Get rid of the CPU Cooler and up your graphics card to a 750 Ti.

EDIT: Also, not sure about the RAM at CAS 11.

Yes you can run the newest games on lowest settings around 40-60FPS on a 1080p monitor.

And to potentionally lower the costs a bit so you can still add a CPU Cooler, I'd prefer this case:

It'd be pointless to get a cooler with an I3, the retail one is perfectly fine.

Cooler running gear though is more efficient and has the potentional to make your components last longer, It's not a bad idea to have one even though It's not necessary.

I disagree. Instead of spending $30 on a locked CPU I'd rather spend that money on a better GPU or CPU. The gain is much more when you spend it wisely.

Sure, I only mentioned it because the original poster had it in his build as a preference. Meaning he might want to go with a cooler to improve the stock one.

This build is $20 cheaper but the quality is just as good, BUT you will play games on higher settings with this build.

I would go with a Seasonic(or XFX, Antec)/EVGA PSU. Corsair CX doesn't have a sensational reputation. The original poster is obviously free to choose which case he wants really. Without the case It's the same build with a slighty less good graphics card. The 750 Ti will do slightly better in most games and consumes a lot less power.
