I am planning to build a my first PC, I am trying to plan it around the BF4 specs but as it is my first time I am not sure what settings I will be able to run it on.
CPU: i5 3570k
GPU: GTX 650 Ti
MOBO: AsRock z77 extremem 4
RAM: 6gb
and I'm not sure on the rest but I am open to suggestions and recommendations

The 650 ti is an okay Gpu, just don't expect it to play Bf4 on ultra at 60fps. At medium settings it should play at around 30-40 fps. However, if you can spend an extra 40 bucks you can get a 7870 which is a lot better. The 7870 will run it at high at decent frame rates. Having just built a bf4 rig myself i can say even with a Asus R9 280x that it is a very graphically intense game. The cpu is not as important as the GPU, I use a fx 6300 and I get no bottlenecks. The Motherboard matters, but on your budget you should not spend more than 100 US dollars.

Here is a build similar to mine and around your budget, however, I did not take into account shipping: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1UMhw

around £650. Using a spreadsheet I added all the parts I wanted/needed. windows 8, 1 tb hdd, 8 gb ram and other parts such as case and power supply and others

this leaves us with £370 for the (GPU, CPU & Mobo)
1- Mobo: MSI Z77A-G41: 65 http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-Z77A-G41-Motherboard-Socket-LGA1155/dp/B008E15VIS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383128997&sr=8-1&keywords=MSI+Z77A-G41
2- CPU: 3330: 135 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-i5-3330-Ivybridge-Processor-Socket/dp/B008PDA9LE
3- GPU: MSI Nvidia GTX 760 2GB DDR5 TF: 200 http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-Nvidia-TF-PCI-E-Graphics/dp/B00DJPPCLK/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1383129821&sr=1-4&keywords=GTX+760

sub total: 400
total: £680

is that ok for you? i tried to cut here and there to get you a much better GPU. if not we can try cutting on something somewhere.

I'd rather not spend so much on a GPU and try and sepnd an equal amount on the most expensive parts like mobo cpu and gpu. So I think I will stick with what I planned, unless of course the GPU you I intended to use (Gigabyte GTX 650 TI) wouldn't be very good for bf4. But thanks for your help

focusing on your GPU is the most vital factor in gaming. all you need from the other parts are: a modern mobo with a PCI-e3 slot, a quad core CPU (modern 3Ghz is better), and a 1600Mhz rams (8GB). spending more on these three will not result in noticeable gaming performance. (of course if you compare an i5-3330 with an i7-4960X you will notice some difference, but spending that money difference on a better GPU will result in a much better performance boost).
