So ive decided to buy a new desktop , heres the build :

1000GB SATA3.0(6GB) 7200RPM 32MB
7.1 CH HD Audio / Realtek ALC887 codec
600W ATX Silent 120mm
DVD+-RW 22x SATA
Intel® Core™ i5-4670K UNLOCKED 3.4~3.8Ghz
GeForce GTX 660OC 2GB
USB3.0 / HDMI / DVD+-RW /
Aerocool Strike-X One

I wonder how would this pc work basicly for gaming like running BF4 on MAX ?
 
Solution
This build will also not get 60fps on Ultra. The lower end CPU is also going to be an issue. BF4 REALLY likes a good CPU. The 270x performs the same as the gtx 760, so the better of the options is definitely the i5 and gtx760.
Here you can see that at 1920x1200 (basically 1080, maybe 1fps difference if anything) that both the 660 and 760 fail to deliver stable 60fps at ultra.

Also don't forget your results will be even lower because their system is a ridiculous beast (i7 3960x overclocked at 4.6ghz and 16gb 2400mhz RAM). This will make a big difference as well to skew the results upwards.

I'd also like to add that there is a significant difference between BF4 single player and multi-player. Multi-player is quite a bit more CPU and GPU taxing than single player. The environment in multi-player isn't "scripted" and constantly changing so frames will fluctuate quite a bit.
 
This is exactly correct. You will see that even if you can get a stable 45fps in single player on ultra, when you play multi-player you will see the FPS bounce all over the place between 15-50. This is why it really is ideal to play locked at 60fps (Vsync) even if it means playing at lower settings. It gives a MUCH better experience overall.

With my 770GTX, I played BF4 maxed out (@1080 Ultra and MSAAx4), I saw frames jump from upper 50s to 90s all the time. Explosions are the worst. It's possible to play BF4 with a 760 on Ultra, but that's only if you can live with the teens and 20s, which to me is unacceptable. With the 760 TX, you will most likely have a few settings on High just to sustain higher FPS.
