System Specs:

Intel Core i7 4770K
16GB Ballistix Ram
Asus GTX 770 2GB
MSI G45 Motherboard
EVGA 650w PSU
24 Inch Asus 1ms 1080p Monitor

Mainly going for better fps in bf4, ghosts etc. I get really good fps now but some fights it will bounce down.

Budget isnt really a issue currently.

I wouldn't change any thing mate, looks as good as your likely to get. I like your car being a nvidia man myself but you could look at one of the new Radeons, get one the same price as the 770 you may get better performance especially on BF4, more so when mantle is ready. I've been planning a new rig this year and I have actually been thinking about them myself, bigger bang for your buck at the moment then the Nvidia especially now the aftermaket cooler versions are coming out on the 280's and the 290's.

The only upgrade that could actually make a difference is GPU, and although the 770 is a fantastic card ( I have one myself), it doesn't play the newest games completely maxed at 1080. You could sell it and pick up one of the newer cards (780ti or AMD 290x) but I think if you did want to upgrade, your best option right now would be to get another 770. You would have to get a new PSU (800W or so), but that is what I would do. My system is very similar all around, and that is something I have been toying with for a little while :)

You build looks great and i don't see any problems besides maybe the 770. I know sometimes when i am playing BF4 i easily go over 2GB of VRAM on certain maps. You could go with a 780 or a 780 ti and that should smooth everything out nicely, but if budget isn't an issue go with a LGA 2011 processor and a 780 ti. That's completely overkill for 1080p but hey if you got the money to burn and want ultimate performance that's your best bet.
