[Darthjadus]

Hello. I need help building a pc since I am switching over from console gaming I don't need anything but the pc and I want to spend around $600-650 in USD I am looking to play games like bf4,rome 2,starcraft 2 , indie games etc. I am probably going to wait until amd's new gpu's come out so you can use them thanks

Not sure about the GPU price but here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1Lolm

If you need Windows http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1Lonw it's a bit over budget though

Then that build is good I think. The extra $30 could be used to buy a cooler like the Hyper 212 EVO.

No it isn't stupid*, there's not much that differentiates RAM anyway as any performance difference isn't really noticeable (unless you're rendering video or something). Shopping for RAM by colour is what you should do.

Also you could switch out the R9 270X for a 7970 and switch the 8320 for a 6300 if the 270X doesn't perform as good as I think it does.
