First Build! Trying to make it Under 1k USD

[rocketbattle]

Hey guys!! Im starting a budget build for under 1k USD, and this is what i came up with.

CPU

Intel Core i5 3570K Quad Core

 

Motherboard

Gigabyte GA-B75N Mini ITX LGA 1155

 

Memory

Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3-1600

 

Storage

Samsung 840 EVO 120gb 2.5" SSD

 

GC

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 2GB Windforce

 

Case

BitFenix Prodigy

 

Power Supply

Cooler Master 700W ATX 12v

 

Case Fan

BitFenix Spectre LED 47.4 CFM 200mm

 

Is this a good build? Im trying to run Battlefield 4 at Ultra or High at 60 FPS Thanks

Instead of a 3570k why not go for a 4670k? Everything else looks good, but if you're putting a 700W psu in that, I hope you're going to SLI the 770 eventually, considering a good 500W psu could serve this fine if you're not going to SLI

Is space a factor for you? 

This build does look good but remember to add a CPU cooler (and maybe ditch the 200 mm fan for 2 120/140mm [i don't know the cooling situation in the Prodigy])

Quite a bit more horsepower 

 

Also, this should be in new builds and planning

Why would he need a CPU cooler? the one that comes stock is just fine. He's only gaming, doesn't need overclocking for that.

Don't invest in the 1155 socket, it's not worth it. Get a new haswell cpu and a z97 motherboard instead. The psu is overkill, you can spare there and go for 500watts

This build is very good but it relies on a gpu that is on heavy discount for some time only, you can only do this if you hurry.

Is there anything wrong with spending $30 on having your CPU live longer and run cooler?

New haswell is 1150, as is the one I linked the GPU isn't on a discount

it's a mail  in  rebate.  I did however switch the CPU and Motherboard in

this to Devils canyonbecause I didn't realize I had enough budget space

to throw those in.  The Devils Canyon shouldn't be that high of a price in

my opinion, I also changed the power supply because I forgot how amazing

EVGAs prices are  http://pcpartpicker.com/p/W947pg
