Hello, building a second custom computer for a family member. It's uses are going to be for gaming i.e: Guild Wars 2, some FPS, and if possible and within budget, Battlefield 4?

Here is my current build, I have already bought all the parts last night, but I can cancel the orders since it's not currently being shipped.

Tips? Best bang for the buck? Don't really care about appearance, and has to be upgradable in the future. 

Your thoughts and tips are greatly appreciated, thanks in advanced. :D

That SSD is listed as $74 on Partpicker , but on the website it's listed as $100.

Hmm, prices are slow at updating.

Get this instead then: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/a-data-internal-hard-drive-asp900s364gmc
