I would love some people to give me their opinion. I am a first time builder and have built this PC to the best of my knowledge, which isn't saying much..
I would like to keep the price around $1000, if possible less.

I am aware that there are things that I could upgrade to get closer to $1000 but is any of it worth the upgrade? I am open to upgrades because I know that it probably needs some. Will this be able to play games like Battlefield 4 with Ultra settings?
