BF4 build advice

[Da Sept]

I'm building for BF4. I've decided to go with:

EVGA 04G-P4-2768-KR GeForce GTX 760 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support SC 4GB w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card

Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I72600K

Not sure what mobo I would need as well as other components.
I know I'd like to go with ssd but I'm not sure what I'll need as far as PSU, etc.

Any and all help would be appreciated!

A good start would be your budget, help me help you. BF4 is pretty demanding, so don't low ball your budget.

Thanks, Spinny. I feel like a deer in headlights trying to come up with a build.
I was thinking about $900-$1200, give or take. I'd like to be able to have the option of adding a second GPU later on, if it would be helpful. I'm not sure if it would be a good thing to do or not.
Am I overdoing it?
I've never OC'd but would be willing to do so, moderately.

$1200 at least is a so so start for a modern gaming rig.

This thread has some great builds for around 1000$. What I would do from there since your budget is 1200$ is upgrade the GPU to a GTX 770, probably the ASUS DirectCU II.

But the 770 you mentioned is 2gb while the one I had mentioned was 4gb. Isn't the 4gb the better way to go?
It seems the i5 is enough while the i7 is over doing it?

Ah, I thought you mentioned a 760. If you're doing a single monitor setup while gaming, no need for the extra 2GB of VRAM. If you can, go with a GTX 780. They are getting cheaper (Around $520). That is another option.

i5 is a great choice for gaming, and so is an i7. I have an i7 3770k and I'm happy with it, others say an i5 is better for gaming. I'm not that good with CPU's, but I know you'll be fine with either.
