I'm trying to come up with a build for a co-worker.
He wants to be able to run BF4 at Ultra/High settings.
He wants to stick with an AMD CPU.

I put this together, link below, can someone school me on something better as I can't seem to get below $984?

do you intent to spend 1000$ or 800$, its not clear...
you pretty much got the best thing... although if I were you I would swap that cpu for fx 6300 and OC it to 4.0ghz, change the mobo for GA-970A-UD3P and buy a 280x card...

you can also add SSD, but its not a neccesity...

That's $970 if purchased entirely from Newegg as I require.
