Hey,

I made a post a while back regarding a gaming pc build I need for playing games such as Arma 3, Day Z and Minecraft. I will also play BF4 and Skyrim but not as occasional as Arma and Day Z. In my last build I got a great response and was built a computer however this was a couple of months ago and I am not sure as to whether this is outdated and/or the changes I made are not great.

If anyone could help me out regarding any improvements, for minor costs as I am already over budget, or anything that may be outdated and not good for what I need to use it for.
