Is this a good build for a beginner and also is this a good build overall. Will this be able to play bf4 decently and is there any way to lower the price of the build without compremising the quality? PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

This is a better deal for about 730 bucks.

+ Gigabyte 970 UD3 motherboard (awesome overclocking potential for the price)
+ 1866 MHz RAM (a very good deal for now on the Corsair RAM)
+ 7950 > 7870 (no doubt on that at all)
+ You need an optical drive to use the Windows 8 disc.
