Hey guys! I am in need of a computer that can play Ghosts, Battlefield 4, Titanfall, ect. at highest graphics with good fps.I am also looking for a computer that can handle streaming/recording. I do not have a ton of money but I also do not have a specific budget. I am wondering if anyone can help me put together a list that meets my needs at the lowest price.

Thanks in advance,
ImagineFrags

Okay before I start my PC is 2 years old. built in march of 2012
I have a Intel 3930k was $600
Some Asus motherboard was cheapest 2011 socket at the time was $250
H100 Cpu cooler $120
Gtx 680 (I know i said i had a 770 but 680 and 770 are the same card just rebranded and cheaper) when i bought it it was $550 now a 770 is like $350
I have an overpriced Intel SSd that was like $350 2 years ago much cheaper now
And I have 32 GB (OVERKILL WAY TOO MUCH) Gskill ripjaw ram you only need 16
My build was like $2500 2 years ago

I would recommend
4930K CPU
GTX 770
16 GB of ram
Your choice or MB, SSD, and case and PSU. Will be right around your budget.

All im going to say for now could go more in depth, If you want to stream BF4 on max setting you will need an Intel 6 core. Best GPU for the money is a GTX 770 cheapest GPU that can max out BF4 with good framerate. I stream BF4 I have a 3930k and a 770 and can barely stream BF 4 on max setting loads my CPU to about 70- 75% at 3.9 GHZ.

-Overclockable processor and motherboard. Just add a future cpu cooelr.
-8gb of ram is typically plenty for games. You can always add more anyways.
-280X is only a bit slower than the 770, but it utilizes Mantle.
-Big enough psu for overclocking both the processor and graphic card. Also semi-modular for better cable management.
