I hope I have posted this in the correct place. I have decided to upgrade my to a new PC. I'm looking to be able to play some games on it as well. The games that I want to play are Battlefield 4 and Arma 3 ( The main game I want to be able to play) at the recommended specs or above. I'm looking to build a budget PC below is a list of components that I have have been looking at which are at my budget.

  • 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance Blue 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Dual/Quad Channel Kit
  • 750W ARIAnet ACE Xtreme Series Power Supply
  • 1TB Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 3.5" SATA III Hard Drive - HDD
  • Microsoft Windows 8 64-Bit DVD - OEM
  • GIGABYTE GA-F2A85X-D3H AMD A85X (Socket FM2) ATX Motherboard
  • Cooler Master K350 Black Midi Tower Window Gaming Case
  • AMD (Richland) A10-6800K 4.10GHz (4.40GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 Quad-Core Unlocked Processor
  • XFX Core Edition Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
Total £569.95

Are these components compatible with each other?

Would this system be capable of running the games listed above ( not necessarily on ultra settings)?

I plan on upgrading the system in the future as and when needed / when I have the money to spare.

Thanks in advance.
