    Time for a new computer.

    Budget - £900-£1000
    Resolution - Haven't given it much thought. 1980x1080 I'm assuming
    Games / Settings desired - Battlefield 4 / Max if possible
    Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc) - No
    Country - UK
    Parts that can be reused - 1 tb HDD
    Do you need an OS? - No
    Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? - No.

    Tbh, haven't really got the slightest of clues about getting the best for my money. I know for sure that I want an SSD to run my OS on + w/e current game I'm playing atm.

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: the GPU is the Matrix Platinum version, which seems pretty amazing at the price point. However, if you're streaming, then look into a GTX770 for ShadowPlay.

    Just got in from work and after reading your response Tenangry, I'm going to go ahead with your recommended build. Seems to be pretty strong and after emailing my stock manager the build you posted. He said it was absolutely spot on for the price. Thanks a lot.
