For battlefield 4 on ultra@1080p you'll need a 7970 /R9 280x for good framerates. On the Nvidia side GTX 770 at least.

on gaming pc you use an i5 cpu (4760k) or amd (8000) cpu as base cpu. then use 8 gigs of good 1600 ram at 1.5v with stock 9-9-9-9-9-24t .
min drive size i get is 500 to 1tb in size. if you have extra 100 in the build funds drop in a boot ssd. for motherboards there mini atx (cheaper one card mb) or full size atx mb that can be crossfired or sli. on intel mb the h chipset is a locked chipset and you use non k cpu. if you need to save money on build funds. standard atx case. you wont need a full sixe case a mid size r300 or a z9 case for the price is fine. (you can always add led strips and led fans to a case if you want to bling it out.
cheapest gaming cpu cooler is evo 212 cpu cooler. some people use larger metal air coolers some use 120-240mm seal liquid coolers.
both have there trade offs. the brick coolers are large and heavy.
the sealed units if the pump fails...you rig goes down.
the last and most important part is a right size and good branded power supply. right now on parts picker the 850w seasonic bronze power supply with rebate is 70.00 it oversized unit for most gaming rigs but it at a great price point.

when you do your shopping use parts picker or a sight like it to find combo deals and rebates.

Once you place a limit on dollar value, and say I want it to do X then you need to perform at least some research.
There are lots of 'system in a can' types around here, I am very surprised none have posted yet.
Are their any parts that have your fancy, etc?

Yes, but a few points of correction
Evercools cooler can get loud,even though it cools well
Gigabyte's Z87X motherboards are the ones that are overclock ready
Corsair Vengeance is just pretty ram for extra,consider if looks matter to you.
5400RPM drive is a no no no. 7200RPM at least, like Seagate Barracuda, WD Blue.
Case comes with a power supply yet you still buy the seasonic,consider saving there by getting a case with no psu for less.
Will you burn blu ray? if not,consider a blu ray READER for less.
With such a budget for the monitor get a 120Hz Lightboost monitor from BenQ or Asus @27 inch 1080p. They cost less but game better.
Use your savings for a 4gb gtx 770 (bf4 regularly used more than 2gb in the beta) and a 256gb SSD (to install your games and windows and kill load times)
