Looking for a computer build with everything except the keyboard and mouse. I want to be able to play BF4 on ultra and be ready for upcoming future titles. I will also be playing World of Warcraft on this rig as well. My budget is between $1000 and $1500. Here are some things that I want with this build: 120 SSD, AMD GPU, and 8.1 Windows. Other than that go nuts. Thanks in advance.

Good build, but 290x is not worth the extra money when compared to 290. Performance difference is very small compared to the price difference to 290. But i would wait for the non-referenced cooler 290s because 290 and 290x tend to heat a lot.
 
Good system. AMD has nothing that matches a i7 yet (sigh) which is the mainstay for "play BF4 on Ultra" and you have a healthy budget you can get a great deal if your interested. I was perusing SlickDeals, they offered a Haswell i7 with 16GB DDR3, 1TB, Blu-Ray, Windows for around $690. A $550 similiar deal was with 8GB and DVD only I believe, but both cases you could swap the PSU and chuck in the GPU and you have a hefty 'go nuts' system without spending ALOT on it realistically.

Just a thought to get the most performance going forward at the top AMD Cpu still rates 'below' i7, which is meaning it is on par with only a i5.

Way to think outside the box. That really is a viable option.
