So I am looking to play games such as bf4, arma, and a couple other high end games at high/medium would this build be good enough to play it at a good amount of fps?

 

 

Also I'm looking to record some Minecraft and was curious if my my FPS be shit while recording?

To be honest, BF4 Multiplayer will run on low settings with a decent fps. I really don't recommend you getting that CPU, but I'm guessing your going for a under $550 budget so here is something that could work out for you a bit better on my opinion http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2cw23, this can more likely run BF4 around medium to high with a nice decent fps. I stood with the same case cause it was your choice on your setup and the HDD and Memory were ok so I also stood with it, I took out the optical since it's not really necessary but if you want it, you can just add it to the list if your thinking on getting this. I went with the 8 core since it's BF4 were talking about here(and others) and since it's a really demanding game when it come to CPU because of the 64 player server, went with this GPU because it the latest and it's 2GB wich it's between the minimum and recommended requirements and it's also a good GPU as for what I have heard, for the PSU, I went with the 700W since it's always good to only use 80%(570W) of what the PSU has for safety. As you see, I've added only $10 from your previews budget(without having the optical drive in the list) so I don't think it's really a bad deal. For recording, I recommend you get a secondary HDD or SSD for better performance, doesn't have to be big, a 250GB HDD or 120GB SSD would do the job or even less(depending on how long your planning on recording and what program you planning on using, for example, Fraps take GB's for every 3-5 min if I'm correct...). Well, thats about it, hopefully other that know more about this can help since I'm not a technician or anything close, but I try my best. Good luck. ^.^

It's okay for gaming, but the CPU you put is fucking terrible, i recommend maybe an fx 6300. it's pretty decent. but anyway, don't get a HIS GPU either, if you can get the sapphire 7850 instead of the HIS. as for the motherboard, you're spending too much on that. you should honestly find a cheaper motherboard and get 8gb of ram, rather than 4gb. mainly because bf4 and arma would choke on 4gb of ram. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2cHmp i might have made it a bit more expensive but it is better and wont choke on any high end games. btw, im not really sure about the mobo and powersupply you will have to ask around for those. btw PSU has the be more than 500W
