£700 ($1180) Gaming PC Including Monitor

[HarryOrson]

I am looking to build a gaming pc £700 or under ( about $1180). This build must include a monitor no less than 20". I play battefield 4 and would like to play at high-ultra 1080p at at least 40-60 fps. I will also be playing games like DayZ, Rust and other popular games. I dont want the cpu to be an i7 as I dont need one and it will put more money to the GPU. I dont need any more than 6 cores as it is purely for gaming and browsing. PC part picker would be ideal but any suggestions down below are fine. Also if you have the time, could you give me a suggestion for both an amd cpu and motherboard and an intel cpu and motherboard and I will decide which one to choose. I dont need an OS in the build and you can include a mouse and keyboard but thats up to you if you want to or not. All suggestions are greatly appreciated and thanks for the help!

R9 270 can't really play ultra well on bf4. It works best at around high settings.

If you got a 720p monitor I think it would play BF4 on Ultra settings.

-Should be able to play Bf4 at high - ultra settings, though I doubt you can max out AA.
