I am completely new to PC building and this forum but I have been putting in a lot of effort into researching this.

I am not too fussed about overclocking now, but I will be doing more research on that.

I want it to run benchmark games such as Battlefield 4 and Hardline. I would like it to last as in it can run future Battlefields.

I want it to constantly run 60 FPS, High/Ultra settings preferred.

This Rig could be overkill for the 60 hz monitor. Is it worth getting the 120 hz if I want a 60+ FPS system? Is 120 FPS worth it? Or could I get it cheaper but fit the 60hz monitor just fine to save some cash.

If you need to go over the budget to make it a better system let me know, I don't mind. Be free and use some sense 😀
