I am currently interested in buying parts for a gaming PC but am having trouble deciding on which ones to get, I already have in Intel i7 processor from a friend and need the rest of the parts for it. I'm currently looking to play Battlefield 4 and DayZ Standalone to start

It all depends on what you want. theres a lot to think about:
-what else will you be doing with your pc? ex. music, picture storage, movies, video editing.
-what graphics brand do you want?
-price?
-how high end to you want it?
its really whatever you want to do.
money is the main limit for most.

The i7 is really too strong for this build if that makes sense. If you can stretch your budget a bit more it will make sense to keep the i7

$800-1000 not including the OS or the processor. Maybe a little less, but much lesser and your going to have certain hardware bottle neck the rest of your system.
