Hi,

I'm planning to build a gaming rig probably end of this month. After doing all the research, I've came up with this build and I need advice on it.

CPU & Mobo: i5-4670K + Msi Z87-G45 Gaming
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x4gb 1600mhz DDR3
SSD: Samsung 128gb ssd 840 pro
HDD: Western Digital Black 1TB
Video Card: Msi GTX 760 TF 2GB
ODD: Samsung 24x DVD Drive
PSU: Seasonic M12II 620W
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 Black
Cpu Cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo
OS: Windows 7 Home 64bit OEM
Monitor: Dell S2340L 23"

How much do you think this setup will cost me. I'm not sure if this build will be able to play BF4 and other games on high settings? I'm kind of new here so any feedbacks and recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Change your 760 to r9 280x... Get it with superflower HX600w psu combo at $529

No need for samsung 840 pro... evo or m500 also can.

Where do you recommend getting all the parts from? Is it better to get the parts from different shops or just get it in one shop?

Total should be $2008.

But the best way to go for is this.

MSI Z87 G45 + I5-4670k ~ $507
Gskills Ripjaws 1600mhz 2x4gb kit ~ $110
WD Blue 1tb ~ $78
Plextor M5p extreme 128gb ~ $159

Corsair H110 280mm AIO Cooler ~ $150
Windows 7 Home Premium OEM 64bit ~ $115

Total $2026. Better GPU by 1 tier higher. Better cooler than Evo.

Buy at tradepac. DIY.
