This is my first time building a computer and also my first desktop, so if there is anything wrong please tell me. It is mainly a gaming computer, and I am wondering how it will run for games like BF4. I am also looking for advice on the parts and anything i could change. I want to stay around the same price. Any recommendations on monitors?

Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 $99.99
Memory: G.Skill Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 $52.99

If you will play BF4 mosty, I reccomend AMD FX 8350 as CPU because BF4 is more optmized for AMD and BF3 was for Nvidia and Intel. So, you will also need other motherboard. ASUS M5A97 R2.0 has best price/performance ratio for socket AM3+. And you should take 3gb ddr5 graphics card with 384-bit memory and around 1ghz GPU clock. See if you can do that and keep same price.
