Flaw number 1 and 2: Don't buy that mouse / keyboard. Actually, don't buy any one on the net. Go to a local store and TRY THEM in real life. A cheaper option might have a much better feel to you; likewise, an expensive option might seem unconfortable when you actually use it. Besides, you are wasting 100$ on something that won't help you drive your games better. Just do yourself a favor, and trust me.

 

3rd flaw: getting the FX. They are bad for gaming. For the same amount of money, you can get an i5-4670 + h97 mobo and just do a lot better than the FX. Also, you'll have lower power consumption and heat generation. Just... do it. Really. The FX is dead. Alternatively, you can save the money by going with a cheaper cpu, and dump it all on the GPU.

 

Speaking of GPU, for the same price, you can get a 290. Here, have fun with a stronger card.

Most of those games make little to no use of multicore configurations. A better setup would be, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Bff8CJand is only a couple bucks more.

 

the recommended build uses a basic i5 on a fairly good quality B85 board from ASrock, The I5 will do a lot more for you in this instance, as it will run those games at a higher capacity than the 8350, being that it has far better single core performance. It also leaves you with an upgrade path later on, that means you can scrape up 240$ for a 4690K and get even better gaming on the cpu end of things.

Destroys the other build for about the same price.

So I have been coming up with a build, but I need to know if it is possible to run games like Far Cry 4, The Forest, Dayz, Arma, and others. Also, If anyone could tell me my flaws of the build please tell me. Thanks.

I'd suggest an i3 or low end i5 over the FX 8 for those games and  honestly a decent 290 doesn't cost much more but is a bit better than 280x infact unless I'm mistaken 290 by XFX Double disspiation version is CHEAPER than that 280x and the Tri-X 290 is only $20 more PCS+ is only $10 more and Gigabytes Windforce is only $30 more (cheaper version, similarly priced, identical cooler, larger brand pick your poison)

Cut down on the mouse as well. It's stupid to dump that much money on a mouse. Cut it by 25$, and use that money on a Hyper 212 Plus as the CPU cooler.

If gaming, a good mouse is a godsend.  The extra buttons and precision makes the experience, and performance, in games better.  I can try to find a suitable replacement at $25, but it will have less buttons.  I was also looking at the G602 (I have one) for $50, it has 11 buttons.  People are picky about wireless though.

He's only playing shooters. He WON'T need 11 buttons. Also, as I said, he has to try out the mouse by himself. And even in then, 50$ for a mouse is STUPID, and even more so if it would mean cutting down on the pc (which is the case).

(With a huge mail in rebate. Don't forget, 290s aren't as cheap as 219$).

 

Yeah, more like it.
