I was wondering if this build could run Bf4 on high or ultra with its current specs.

And if any recommendation on an upgrade that keeps it under 900$ that would be appreciated.

It will definitely play Battlefield on ultra at above 60-70+FPS. How I know? Well I planed to buy the 770 and have done plenty of research in this.

Adding an os to this would raise the price to $1k

You will love this one. An added OS like you mentioned. A better graphics card by Sapphire- R9 280X. The best and biggest AMD GPU brand in my opinion.
