Ok, so I have an HD ready monitor which I thought was a 1080p Monitor. The maximum resolution it goes which says on my control panel is 1366 x 768. Now my question is I recently ordered parts for a gaming pc, the specs are,
ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
8GB of Crucial Ballistix Tactical 240-Pin DDR3 RAM
AMD FX 6300 Six Core CPU
Radeon R9-270X 2GB GDDR5 Overclocked edition
Western Digital 500GB Hardrive at 7200RPM
CORSAIR CX series CX500 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
NZXT Source 210 Elite ATX Mid Tower Case (White)
Now will I be able to play BF4 in 1080p on my monitor? The graphics card has an HDMI port and so does my monitor.

No, your max resolution for that monitor is 1366x768 which is considered "HD". 1080p is "Full HD", which is a really annoying way that monitor manufacturers trick people. You can't run your games at a resolution above what your monitor will support, so you're out of luck unless you purchase a 1080p monitor.

Lol its ok, Ill just have to save up. Oh also one more question though, would BF4 still look good on my monitor because when I play on PS3, it displays 1080p. So i was wondering if the game would still look good?

Well your PS3 is upscaling if I remember correctly. It should be 720p from the PS3. I wouldn't be surprised if it looks about the same (probably better since BF is a PC first game). It won't look as good as a 1080p monitor, but it should look better than what the PS3 puts out.
