So after a year of slaughter gaming in my i3-3110m w/ Intel HD 4000 on my laptop, I'm thinking of getting a new gaming PC. I want to build it as it seems to be the only good option as technology in New Zealand is overpriced.

Would be great if someone used http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/ (NZ because I need local prices) and gave me a good setup. I'm planning to play BF4/Arma 3 on Med settings the least at 1080p w/ 60fps. I can downgrade Resolution to 1280x768 the least. Also, dont forget to add Windows 8 to the part. I don't care if the setup is for overclock or not.
