Drop the idea of phantom 410. Won't have any wire management.

With that price get the fractal design r4 or arc midi. Or if you up for it get the corsair carbide air 540.

Ram just get the 1600mhz. You won't find a performanc difference..

Drop the corsair ssd. Get the plextor m5p cheaper.

Try the superflower hx600 600w 80+ gold rated PSU. Should b slightly cheaper.

y cannot phantom 410? or is corsair 350d better?

The wire management area is terrible. I see now if SLS got demo can take a pic of it show you the management area. Corsair 350D is a much better chassis. But take note it is a matx chassis.

GS is not even a modular PSU.

Get the giayte variant. Slightly better cooler.

Adata get the plextor one with synchronous.

Bf 4 very demanding ~ consider quite good le, u can turn down a few details to improve ur frame rate

IMO first person shooting game fps around 50-70 consider good and smooth

Above 70 is butter smooth :o

hijack abit, fractal design r4 also matx right? it look small

ATX case.. can support ATX, mATX, ITX boards... Look small to you, meaning you physically seen it or based on reviews?

pcie n pci wats the diff?

PCI is old gen, nowadays we are using PCI-e, which is very small. Only gpu uses the longer PCI-e for more bandwidth.
