buying new or used?
if used subtract 10-15% value off the original price for every 6months of age
if new you can likely do better since you dont need an i7 or 16gb of ram and can use the money saved to boost the gpu a bit. a gtx680 isnt terrible though its quite overpriced for what it is. a 770 or 280x is cheaper and more powerful.

bf4 on ultra at 1080p will be between 40-51fps
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2013/11/27/battlefield-4-performance-analysis/3
280x is at 45-54, 770 is at 42-54
prices are as follows for the cheapest models.
gtx680 $350, gtx770 $310 280x $350
a 770 performs just a hair better but is $40 less. the 280x is the same price but performs better.

@op
if its your buddies rig fair market price would be as i said above... somewhere around at least a 10% drop in price from what he originally paid for it for every 6months he has owned it. of course a few factors could alter that price (such as if he used old hardware at the time he bought it) but otherwise its a pretty good roundabout for pricing.

@swifttone
for the benchmarks it would help if you read the article...
Test System
Intel Core i5 3570K (operating at 4.2GHz – 42 x 100MHz)
Asus Maximus V Extreme motherboard
2 x 4GB Corsair 2,400MHz DDR3 memory
Lepa G1600 1600W PSU
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Samsung SSD 830 256GB SSD
Battlefield 4
1,920 x 1,080, DirectX 11, ultra detail preset
To Benchmark Battlefield 4, we're using a 60 second recording of the opening sequence of the campaign's sixth level, Tashgar. It's a very demanding section, as it's fast-paced and features plenty of draw distance, numerous lighting effects and shadows, high resolution textures (particularly on the character models) as well as particle effects from fire and smoke. It's still not the same as a 64-player multiplayer match, which would of course be impossible to replicate, but it's a stressful and challenging benchmark to run nonetheless. It also has the benefit of being very reliable, giving us the same results through multiple reruns.
------------------------
they are testing one of the most demanding sequences they could find and replicate across all cards.
actual gameplay fps could very well vary depending on FOV, draw distance, what settings are on or off, anti-aliasing level, etcetera.
