upgrading for bf4

[johnf03]

My brother have a crap computer. So I am planning to upgrade it to play with me(BF4).Budget: below 700 dollars.

Upgrade to:
Windows 7 64 bit
AMD FX-4300/6300
8 GB RAM DDR3
Radeon HD 7770 1 GB DDR5
Cooler Master GX 550W
Western Digital 1TH WD10EZEX
LG SATA BOX

Tell me what cooler, motherboard, and case should I use. Any other opinion on upgrading my brother's carp computer?

Nevermind.. Found a motherboard:
BIOSTAR MOTHERBOARD SOCKET AM3/AM3+ [A960G+] and ASUS Motherboard Socket AM3/AM3+ [M5A97 R2.0] Which do you choose?

Asus for sure. why? Do you know anyone that buys Biostar? cuz I don't.

Also, get the fx-6300. And if you can afford it, upgrade the GPU. This is very important.

I gotta disagree. Yes, that Mobo is better but this is a budget build and OP is deciding between a fx-4300 and fx-6300, also is planning on a 7770. Once you put that into consideration I think you'll agree more money needs to go into the GPU instead of the mobo.

My brother is only using high-ulltra settings at 1080p with no sync and no useless ambient and no Antialiasing

It is still a Budget build, he will have no problem with that GPU running on highish settings, Its better going for the best motherboard and CPU you can get, then when you have enough money, Buy the better graphics card.

Fx 6300
Asus M5A99FX

If you want to game at high settings...drop more money into the GPU.
