Hi everyone, I'm upgrading my really shitty computer from 4 years ago and am really behind with good parts and such these days and need some help.

http://pcpartpicker.com/blog/38/1100-gaming-build

1. Would this computer be able to run games like Battlefield 4 and TitanFall on max settings? (2 monitors maybe?)

2. Would I be able to upgrade to SLI with this build in the future? If I do upgrade to SLI in the future, would I need to upgrade my PSU?

3. Would it be possible to upgrade to 16 GB of ram/2 TB harddrive and stay around the $1100 - $1200 price range? If not, what price range would I be looking at?

4. I'm also looking for a new monitor that's bigger than my 1600 x 900 monitor right now with an HDMI slot in the back so that I can plug my PS3 into, and play games such as BF4, Titan Fall, and LoL. I watch movies on my computer as well. Any suggestions?

Thanks :)
