PC Help
Hi. I've decided what computer I'm planning to build but I was hoping if someone could make sure that everything will work and that I'm not forgetting anything. I would also like to know how well this would run games like BF3, Grid 2, Far Cry 4, etc. Thanks.

But with this, you may want a bigger case, because the GPU will cause you to remove the drive bays. (Not really much of an issue, just annoying to do lol)
If you want a bigger case, you can go with this.

Thanks this was very helpful.
I changed a few things, added more storage, and got the price down a bit. (Plus added a much, much better PSU)

Thanks. Is there any difference in the MSI graphics card and the EVGA?
Eh, no not really. The MSI has a higher stock clock speed. If you want a better cooler, and a higher clock speed than the EVGA, then go with this GPU. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyt ... 70wf3oc4gd (I'll add it in the build above if you'd like)
