First off, my objective is a gaming rig that's able to handle battlefield 4 on 64 player map servers with ultra settings at 1080p, high viewing distance is imperative since I'll mostly play as a pilot or sniper. My budget for my first desktop will be in the ranges of 700$ to ~1000$, including the monitor.
