the main thing is your budget, once you have that then we can be more help,

cause we could suggest stuff like a I5 3570k where as your budget only allows for a I3 3220 or something
as well as gpus we could tell you a 7850 but your budget may only allow for a 7770

I'll offer my 2 cents:

I suggest a mid-range quad-core processor of around 4.0 - 4.4 ghz.

For the GPU I would suggest anything like the Nvidia GT 550ti.

8gb of Ram seems to be standard these days.

Go ahead and look for a decent size and speed hard-rive.

This is what I would call mid-range. Nothing to fancy, should be able to run BF3 ect. at around Mid graphic settings at about 70-80 fps.

Yeah my budget would probably be $700 - 750 max. I'm not looking for top of the line seeing as this is going to be my first build. But I also don't want any "starter" parts. I want this to last me for a good four years. Is it possible?

I could sort out a build for you if you want.

Just make sure you get a 1920x1080 and make sure the response time is 5ms or less.
