so ive made many of these posts now asking about which/what computer I should get.... finally everyone agreed on just build one! so basically I want you guys to check out my build and see if its good enough to play bf4,minecraft,dayz,gmod,arma2 and arma3!
also if you guys think you could make one 100% better (or even 1% better.. everything helps!) but my budget is 1350... so either say mine is definitely good enough (which I REALLY doubt any of you guys will say xD) or just build one on the website and link me.... here is my link! :) thanks for your time

I changed the i5-4460 out for a i5-4670k, there was no point in buying the 4460 with a Z97 Motherboard AND an aftermarket cooler. The i5-4670k is better AND you'll be able to over-clock it.
I changed the RAM to a smaller profile so that it'll be more compatible with your heatsink.

the "double dissipation" is just XFXs cooler style, each company has their own, E.G. Asus Direct CUII, EVGA ACX, Gigabyte Windforce.

If you want me to spend some time messing with your build I can. Do you have any specific purposes other than gaming?

yes it would be nice to mess with the build as much as you can to make it as suitable as possible for mostly watching youtube, gaming, and (maybe) recording youtube videos, also can you try to pick parts that are kind of easy to install cause ive never made a computer before, but I know the basics :D

Don't worry, I was like you when I was building my computer! Better asking now then regretting later!

the GTX 770 is roughly on par to the R9 290, but generally it comes out ontop. It's also cheaper and cooler (I believe) than the R9 290.
I found a video of the i5-4670k + GTX 770 on youtube, check it out! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwNg1NUQGPo
Sli/Crossfire is only useful when you plan on using more than one graphics card, swapping one graphics card out for another isn't a problem, you don't need any special requirements for it.
