So guys, I've got a budget of roughly 1-1.2k USD. I've been going at this for 3 days now and I can't decided myself so I obviously need some assistance.

I'm trying to build a gaming rig that'll run BF4/Arma 3 at a pretty steady 60fps on High. Is this possible? I've tried and just can't decide, I have some saved builds on pcpartpicker but I don't think they're worthy of showing.

Can you guys give me some set up ideas?

Nope. Do not include m/kb, speakers, headphones, monitor or OS in the budget. Those will be taken care of separately.

Thank you very much, saved for consideration. Is it possible to see an AMD build? I'm usually an AMD guy but if Intel is the way to go, I'll go that way. Still curious about an AMD build.

Again thank you so much for the help.

For this price point, it makes more sense to go with Intel over Amd. Could save some money and use an Amd Cpu, but you won't save enough to bump up to the next tier of video cards, so it doesn't make much sense. Although, could fit an SSD in if you went with Amd, or if you opted for the nVidia 770 video card instead of the 780 you could fit one in.
