Opinions on this gaming build?

[Quantum2014]

So for my first build, I'm willing to spend around $1000 (no more than $1100, and just for the pc itself), and I will mainly be using it for gaming.

So here is what I got so far:

CPU: FX-8320 3.5 GHz

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P

Video card: Zotac GTX 770 2GB

Memory: G.Skill Sniper 8GB 1600MHz

Storage: Western digital Caviar blue 1TB

Power Supply: Corsair CX600 600W

Case: Bitfenix Ronin

Optical Drive: Some cheap 20$ one (Asus)

Opinions? Parts that I should swap out? And would this be sufficient for games such as BF4 at mid-high settings?

Looks nice but you might have to look into an aftermarker CPU cooler as you won't get as much performance possible from a stock FX-8320. 

 

And I'm sure you should be able to run BF4 at Ultra easily with a GTX 770. Assuming you're running it at 1080p anyway.

This will max out EVERYTHING for at least the next year and a half.

Well I don't exactly plan on overclocking it, so would I still need an aftermarket CPU cooler?

Or would it be smart to overclock it?

If you don't want to overclock then there's no need for a cooler. However, I'd recommend overclocking an AMD chip. It's one of the reasons why their FX series is great for budget as the price to performance is really good when they are overclocked.

Okay.

On another note, I'm probably gonna switch out the case to a NZXT Phantom 410.

Nothing wrong with that. It's a good case.
