So, I wanted to build a gaming pc to run Battlefield 4 1080p High settings. What settings and FPS should I expect on this computer for BF4? Is there a different quad core intel processor that I could use that would still fit in this motherboard? Thanks for your time! :D

EDIT: I'm not saying the CPU is bad, I'm just iffy about it if it will perform well. :)

i5 4440 is cheaper and performs better.
I changed the case because the one you choose didn't have usb 3.0 headers. If that doesn't matter to you you can get that case you choose.

I made it better in every way without increasing the price :)

$15 more gets you a R9 280
$25 more gets you a R9 285
I would drop the dvd drive and get the 280 or 285

The i5 is very strong and would outperform any AMD chip 90% of the time. I don't like the cheap H81 motherboards though. The H97 is much better.
