Hey, I am looking to see what a good 1000$-1200$ gaming pc would look like. Specifically looking to play games such as BF4. Future games will also be played, so looking for something that will last and can be upgraded.

1200$ is the absolute maximum I would pay altogether, nothing higher, not even 1201$ (just making sure this is known as I have seen some others ask for a price then get higher suggestions).

I would not need a monitor, keyboard or mouse. OS would be needed.

Edit: another note, I really do not know a ton about computers so go about this as if you were explaining this to someone who knows nothing

Thanks in advance to anybody that responds.

This build will play pretty much any game at max settings and will be great with the next-gen games also:
