Hi, I was wondering if anyone could build my friend a $1000 computer that has at least a 970 or a good GPU. He wants to run BF4 Ultra at at least 65-70 fps. 1080p. Thanks to anyone who can build him one!

I would look to add a GTX 970 instead of 770 for that though. I would change maybe the case to something else, or if your friend is in college see if he can get windows from school and put that money towards a 970.

Solution
Was going to do a different build but prits build is so close it is not worth posting.

FYI prits build has no OS included in price.

If you must must get it bellow $1000 then would need to ditch ssd drive (great pc performance boost, but does not help game play), and would have to downgrade to AMD FX-8350 over an i5 (and would have to get different mobo as well).
