I'm planning to build a gaming pc on a 700$ US budget that could run games like battlefield, far cry, and arma 
This is my first build and i need some help. Here is what i picked http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nttTRB
Give me your thoughts, if you think my build cant handle these games please provide a pcpartpicker link
or tell me what component i should replace. No plans on overclocking cause this is my first build and i dont wana break anything  

I already have a OS, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Also don't include a case cause i got my self a phanteks enthoo pro 

 
Thank you  :)

If you can afford 20.- more this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr928xoc3gdrev3 would be a much better GPU. (However, the 430W PSU might be a bit to weak)

You might want to go for an ATX motherboard instead of an mATX one, so that you have some upgrading room down the line without having to buy a new one.
