Just want to point out that you have selected a microATX mobo. You will want to double check that your select ATX mid-tower case will house it. It it does fit in the case, you will also want to consider that it will be more difficult to upgrade on a microATX board, as you have less room to work with.

Mac is okay but i already use Mac im only getting windows because im making a new computer and most games are for windows. If there was a choice between mac and windows i would get mac and then use bootcamp.

That's good... but don't expect to be able to play battlefield 4 or battlefield 3. You will want at least an AMD 7870 or a GTX 660 ti.

EDIT: Not too familiar with that GPU but you may want to get a 500 watt one. You will also need 8 GB ram to meet the battlefield 4 recommended specs.

Here are my specs.

I will probably be getting 4 gb more for my birthday as a gift or something and get a better power supply because you don't want it failing on you. And i could run minecraft max settings with shaders mod at 20 fps on a macbook pro with Intel core 2 integrated graphics so i think this would handle it fine, also i don't want a disc drive because i wont be buying discs but downloading them off steam that's why im getting a 1tb hard drive and alot more games are online and not in shops.

Upgrade the Power Supply. You'd probably get some better results with more power XD

Haha my current video card has a quarter of the power this build's one has, and plays games very well:

Minecraft: 50 FPS minimum; usually 70+
Star Wars Battlefront II: almost constantly 80 (FPS cap)
Call of Duty: World at War: usually 50+
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2: usually 35+
Halo: almost constantly 75 (FPS cap)

Keep in mind these are from me playing the game for a while at 1280x1024 with the graphics settings at almost the defaults.
