I have a budget of $1250. I want to build the ultimate AMD gaming system and a well rounded system. I would like to play games like BF4 and Metro Last Light at max settings at least at 1920x1080p. I would prefer all the parts to be from one retailer.

So basically make this PC as balls to the walls as possible while staying in the budget.

Thanks and stay awesome guys!
 
only my personal thoughts, but there are some items in this suggestion http://pcpartpicker.com/p/22q9C

that don't improve performance, but are costly, whilst the GPU isn't super and an SSD would make a massive difference.

Therefore, I'd get an extreme 3 mobo, saving $80, a cheaper case saving $40, a lower power PSU, saving $50 and put the $170 to a R9-290 or a bit more to include a 128GB SSD.
 


Thanks, can you make me a list that proves better price per performance?
 
no worries. I haven't got time, but a quick search will reveal a R9-290 is faster than the R9-280X and SSD will make everything that loads from disk much faster. However big games will need to go on a normal HDD if you have a few of them
