You can save a little on Case and Headset to get a R9 270x/280. 270 is weak for an i5

What case should I get then

Rampiks · May 30, 2015

The GPU should take up around 30% of your total budget

What case should I get then

The case is fine.

Also what budget do you have?

noob pc gamer · May 30, 2015

Not to much more than what I got already, which is $1010 CAD

noob pc gamer · May 30, 2015

$1100 max

Joegeddon · May 30, 2015

Looks fine to me. GPU is slightly weaker than you should get but it doesn't matter. The R9 280 would be a good choice though.

Rampiks · May 30, 2015

$1100 max

Ok, i'll se what i can come up with

Rampiks · May 30, 2015

if you can afford 1185$ then you will be able to max out most games at 1080p

I replaced the G602 with a G502 since the G602 is wireless (which is a no go)

Better GPU for now, the CPU can be upgraded later for a locked i5.

Maxing the games with that build? No. It won't do it. Med-High is going to be the Max he could reach.

i said most games, atleast that's what my friend who has it said to me, he said his 280X can max out BF4 fine... i don't know if i can believe him when think about it tough. but at least it can play bf4 at high

BF4 is AMD optimised so it is expected to run good on AMD cards.
