Hey tna135, I'm not too sure what kind of a system you can get with 400$ including the OS and monitor. That sucks out around 200$ of the system and it would be impossible to build a system for 200$ that would run Battlefield 3/4 at 70-80 fps Med-High settings. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

This is the best I could do. Dont expect anything amazing with this. If your friend can, tell him to save up another $200 at least and then buy one. It isnt really worth it and this price.

If he could save up at least 100-150$ he could get an amd r9 270x (that would do wonders for his pc !) so I think gamer 1357 has a good solution as he can upgrade the pc later

Largely based on gamer1357's build(Gotta give him credit), I added a CPU instead of an APU and added a GPU andthis is what I could do and you'll definitely get 70-80+ FPS on Med-High on Battlefield since the monitor included is 1280x1024. You could actually high the game on High-Ultra 70-80+ I believe (correct me if I'm wrong)

And by the way gamer1357, I included a DVD drive so he can install Windows xD.
I am aware that this build is 600$~ but it's worth to save up 200~$ more like gamer said.
