I've increased my max budget from $700 USD to $1,475 USD. I would like a Gaming Build that would be able to play Battlefield 4 maxed out at 1080p, and at 1920x1080 resolution on my 42-inch Television/Monitor at around 30+FPS. Connecting to my home's router wirelessly is essential as well, and to connect to my Tv, I'll at least 1 HDMI port. Thanks in advance!
New budget, New Gaming PC, Please help!

I am not the best with wireless adapters, but there can be a great deal shaved off that build. It is a beastly gpu there though.

I recommend an antennae as I used to use one and even with a wall between my pc and modem, I had no drops on ping. My usb has higher ping even when it's literally next to it (exaggeration of course). The usb is easier to setup though. I recommend the AMD cpu since you're using a high end cpu cooler so that means you would have no problem overclocking. If you're not overclocking then you can get the non k version of the i5-4670. The windows 7 OS is just a personal preference you can get the win8 for 5 more dollars. I gave you a 750w because it's already using 590w right now so if you want to add more stuff to your pc then it won't make your PSU be pushed to the limit. I chose nVidia's 780 because it performs straight up better than the r9 290 and it's quieter plus it would have to take an overclocked r9 290 to catch up to the 780.

Why 9370 over 8350, and for this budget is not a i5/i7 better? Also the 290 pcs+ is a good overclocker.

Because the 9370 overclocks a bit better but it's his choice if he wants to save the money since there really isn't a huge difference. Also, like I said before, if he isn't overclocking the cpu then he should go with the i5/i7.
The main reason why I didn't choose the r9 290 is because it's way louder and less cooler than the 780. It also consumes less power which means it saves more money than the r9 290. Oh, and it comes with the game daylight
. But really, it also depends on which r9 290 he is buying. Since it's powercolor then I wouldn't recommend it, but if it was sapphire or msi or asus then yes choose the r9 290 over the 780 if overclocking. I'm not saying that powercolor is bad, but compared to EVGA it really does lack in the cooler and noise levels.

So I guess that it's safe to assume that for my $1,475 budget, and this build, there is room for a lot of expansion, and I'll be able to play high-end games such as Battlefield 4 and Crysis 3 Maxed out even without expanding upon and adding to this build? About what FPS do you think I'd achieve on Battlefield 4 and Crysis 3 maxed out at 1080p, and on a 1920x1080 HDTV Monitor?

Im getting around 70 fps maxed out with my gtx 770 with fx 8320 non overclocked
and I think crysis favours amd so you would gain a few extra fps with the r9 290 Truth be told, I really don't think that I'll be overclocking any time soon, actually. I'm reluctant and fearful because I know for a fact that in doing so, it will void the warranty (which will suck if the CPU breaks down, in which case I'd need to purchase a new one). So in conclusion, I think that I'd rather not take the chance of overclocking, damaging my hardware, and voiding my warranty. I guess that I should look into purchasing a non-"K" Intel Core i5/i7/XEON then?
I tried to configure an Intel build on PCPartPicker that matched the "Hi-Performance" Requirements for Crysis 3 at the least. It didn't work out too well, so I didn't save it...Perhaps a little help on that please? Or should I just attempt to configure something at Ibuypower, Cyberpower?

I don't really like prebuilts but ibuypower is my favourite (in price)
http://www.ibuypower.com/Store/Intel-i7-Paladin-Special/W/214119
Here is one that I edited. If you want their keyboard+mouse for an extra of $7 then go ahead
Thanks, but as far as PCPartPicker goes...say that my budget were to decrease from $1,475 to say... $1,020, or $800 then what would be the best Gaming PC build to max out Crysis 3/Battlefield 4 (whether or not I do overclock)?
(Sorry for so many questions and such, its just that I'm very uncertain when it comes to budget Gaming PCs/$1,000 Gaming PCs)

This is a non oc build, but will still max out bf4 for 1020 if a little bit of rebating is ok with you. 800 might have a bit more trouble maxing out battlefield 4.
Edit:
This is about as cheap / low end gpu as I would go to play bf4 on ultra.

I don't know what os you want. Also, you might need to pay like $40 extra or something, but this is more of a balanced build. You can change the 2tb to 1tb and 750w to something like 650w, but I recommend you to get the CPU cooler or your CPU might burn out. I heard that the Asus 770 is god. I have the MSI 770 and it doesn't make a peep, you can get the MSI one for $10 more. I get around 25-35 FPS in Arma 3 default ultra settings 1080p.
