My friend said he has a $500 build and he's able to run Battlefield 4. I was wondering if anyone can link me a pre built or build that is at most $900? I don't care if it's already built or not.

Sorry if it sounds nooby but I am not good with building PCs at all...

Don't worry about the monitor, mouse or keyboard!

So you're good to put it together yourself? Would you just need the tower for that budget?

You'd only need watercooling if you wanted extreme silence or if you were overclocking.

Okay, also I forgot to mention, it's for gaming and I'd prefer it to be able to record with a smooth FPS... If it matters

This is probably what i'd get, it'll perform very well and you'll be able to max BF4 while recording. Parts are from newegg.

@Buxtyy You forgot the RAM. Buxtyy's build has a better case and a CPU faster than this one by 300MHz.

So is this still the same or just a little under it? Also, would I be able to record and run a good FPS with this build?

It'll run all current games either maxed out or on high settings but when 2015-early 2016 comes around that GTX 770 will start bottle necking on some of the newer games. After late 2015, the newer games should run on high to medium settings just fine but after 2016 you'd need a GPU upgrade if you wan't to keep the high graphical performance on most of the newer games.
