Firstly to the mods, I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section. The guidelines isn't very clear as to where to post newbie questions! (Either that or my English sucks)

Ok back to topic.

I'm planning to get a new rig while my old rig will be used as a DIY-NAS.
My old specs is on the right if it helps.

Anyways, my new rig usage would be gaming and video editing.
Gaming-wise, I'm waiting for BF4. :D

Hope to ask for advices here. Thanks in advanced!

Budget for new parts < $1,000

Current thoughts:
HDD: min. 256GB SSD + 1TB WD Black

CPU: Intel i5-4670
Mobo: ASUS H87I-PLUS
RAM: Kingston ValueRam KVR16S11/8 (8GB) x2 ($164)
Casing: CM Elite 120 Advanced (space & reusing PSU)

Re-using:
GFX: ASUS nVidia GTX 560
PSU: Seasonic S12II Bronze 620W
OS: Windows 7 Home

If you wanna play BF4 I suggest spending some money on a new graphics card. Not sure if your 560 will be able to run it smoothly.. You might even wanna sacrifice the SSD. Loading times will be longer, but the gameplay will be smoother.
