[Build Help] Are there better parts for around the same price?
I'm looking to build a gaming PC this summer. I have some parts chosen here, I would like it to be optimized for Battlefield 4. I realize the specs aren't out yet for BF4 so I built it around the best hardware for Battlefield 3. If there are any better parts for this feel free to comment. Also, if you have any suggestions for building a gaming PC for the first time feel free to comment. Thanks :)
