Ive been looking at parts for a new pc. I want to be able to run bf4 at 60 fps (high/ultra) on a 1920 by 1080 monitor. So far its about $1000. Is that about right for the price? i dunno, it just seemed a little high but maybe not.
 
Solution
Where do you live? You dont need to spend that much money only to play bf4. With an i3 and the 280x you should be fine. But let me know where you live so i can help you with your build.

Thats a good build if yo want to spend the 1000 (maybe yo could add an ssd). If you want to spend less. Then you should be fine with this:
