Gaming Rig, please advise

[GetaBlue]

Hi, been a while since build com, after reading abit please advise on the following, Thanks - built to play BF4

1 - Fractal Design Arc Midi ~ $129 or cm 690 iii
2 - MSI B85 G43 Gaming + 4570 = $417
3 - Gigabyte r9 28XOC 3gb ~ $449
4 - 650w Modular PSU - please advise ($120 to 160)
5 - Crucial M500 240gb ~ $240
Total - $1385

Old Parts
1 - Kingston Valueram 2 x 2GB - enough for BF4?
2 - WD 1TB Green
3 - KB, Mouse, Speakers, Monitor, OS

I know sure got comment on the MOBO,
MSI B85M G43 vs G43 Gaming additional $40 more

PSU, I need one modular one. 650W should be enuff bah, overall com is not in air con room so need parts to be running on low heat.

Casing I like the simple design of the Fractal, spec says can fit gfx up to 290mm, Gbyte 280 card is 285 mm right? so shld be able to fit snugly

So guys, wada you think???

You want the B85 G43 Gaming because of the Red theme is it?

Cause without it it is slightly cheaper.

Ram need to up. 4gb is will be a peak when BF4 is running in background.

The cheapest is Kingston Value Ram 8gb 1600mhz ~ $93

If you want with the spreader and dual channel type

Kingston HyperX Genesis 2x4gb 1600mhz ~ $99

Get the Superflower HX600 600W 80+ Gold ~ $109 ----> some shop got promo.

Go for fractal desing for simple build

ya, MSI gaming mobo because of the red theme . but if compare side by side the non gaming board have just alittle better spec, have display port.

going for the fractal casing cause of the simple design, or cm690 for functional.

see that have to up ram...another 100 gone haizzz...

Thanks for the advise given. appreciate it
