I just built this. A bit over a $1000, but you didn't mention tax or not. You could cut the water cooler out though, and with that, get a cheaper case and knock it down a few hundred almost right there.

I don't have BF4, but BF3 is about 40-60fps at 1080p on Ultra with that CPU overclocked to 4.0ghz and that Video card. I haven't overclocked the videocard yet or tried to pus the cpu much yet, but I'll get there and probably be able to tweak some more out of it.
You could also get it cheaper by shopping around. I went with Canada Computers, because I wanted to buy locally from a store rather than online. It's a pretty solid build though.

I would chop the motheboard down to the Asus I linked above and up the CPU to the 8320 or 8350. The 8320 should overclock easily with an Evo 212 to 4ghz though, and then the 8320 at 4ghz is a 8350 anyways.
You can see here, http://www.bf4blog.com/battlefield-4-retail-gpu-cpu-benchmarks/ The 7870 is better than the 660, so I would go for that, and the for BF4 anyways, the 8350 (or overclocked 8320) beats the I5 4670k by 10fps
