http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1PNIT This is my system. Works pretty damn well. I can play BF4 on ultra at 55-60 fps. High is 90+

Looks pretty damn sweet and if it can do what you say even better

It said on your profile you were Australian so I did the best I could. Operation system included or no?

Don't know which GPU is better. :v

Seeing as the HD 7950 is cheaper, I am all for HD 7950. I have a Sapphire 7950 Boost and got it when it was way cheaper than the GTX 660 Ti and 670 (before the release of 7XX cards) (btw I live in Singapore so prices could be a lil different then), their performance isn't even that different (doesn't matter which card beats which since a difference of like less than 5 FPS generally isn't going to be that noticeable)
but I wouldn't go with XFX though, saw the reviews and its temperature is not satisfactory enough, if you could find ASUS that would be very excellent

I was just basing off the site that is used.
Down here in Singapore, CyberActive does the GTX 660 for around $340 and the GTX 670 for $659 the last time I checked. The only good card worth mentioning here is the MSI GTX 780 Lightning, but it costs around $1k.
CyberActive sucks in the GPU department for sure, since I can't find any of the later cards in there.
Brand wise, MSI and ASUS are the best GPU brands. EVGA is good if you want stock.
All prices are in SGD.

What are your current specs, if they are all outdated then I guess just get a custom built, cheaper to make and it's more fun!

he means pheriperal like Mouse, Keyboards, Mousepad, Headset etc :3

I recently upgraded my GPU (was my only bottleneck at the time) from a GTX 470 to a 670. I haven't tested all the rigorous games I have, but I've been playing games (i.e. Skyrim) with no problem at the highest settings, which would have maxed my previous GPU and killed my fps. So I think it's safe to say my system is fairly decent with price and what you're looking for.
Everything worth mentioning in my PC:
i5-760 Lynnfield
8GB RAM DDR3 1600
GTX 670
So if you get the latest i5, a mobo that's compatible with everything, and a decent PSU (I highly suggest a modular one) that can power everything then you could feasibly get a system that runs most current games on the highest settings for around $800 (assuming you have all the peripherals that you need and gut your old case to use for your new rig).

Why i5 Ivy Bridge? Better get i5 Haswell. It's basically same in price but it has a bit better performance + new CPU's probably will have LGA1150 socket now so better get Haswell CPU and compatible motherboard and you will be ready to upgrade to new CPU after some time when needed. Otherwise you will have to buy new MOBO later.

Derp, seems I'm a bit behind in the tech world, I thought Ivy Bridge was still the newest. :P
Well, I'll just edit my post before anyone else sees...

I would change my 560TI with an GTX760 maybe the EVGA 760 FTW (4GB) but not now because the price is getting higher in the time before christmas.

There's not much point in getting 16GB of RAM. You are not going to be able to use it to the best anyway.
As it is, I would recommend the ASUS or MSI models of the 760 instead. EVGA has it all stock, and that isn't the best.
Edit: Also, OP doesn't want overclocking, so your 3570k is pointless here.

If you got the OS installer disc and a key, then this build will be best for you.
Else I would just add a Windows 7 Home Premium OEM on that list, which would obviously inflate the price.

All I did was take the lower build from CompassNorth's post and tweaked it to match, since I noticed most of his parts are actually workable for the build I had in mind for OP.

That's ~ what I'd buy if i were you.
-if you are sure you won't need the extra slots, you can replace the atx motherboard with a mini atx;
-I cannot find Sirtec in that list;
-I wanted to add a r9 280x but the final price would grow ~1250$. I forgot to change the rebranded 7870 (r9 270x) for a 7950in that wishlist, but I think you should go for 7950 if r9 280x 1250$ is too much.

To bottleneck the read times basically. And memory only comes in play for subsequent opens of the same program.

Don't waste your time on him. He posts in almost every thread and makes a fool out of himself because he has no clue about anything. Just let him troll and leave him alone.

WD isn't bad if you get correct model. Never get WD Blue or WD Green as system drive - they aren't good enough for that. But if you get WD Black as system drive - it will be faster than normal HDD but slower than SSD because it's a hybrid technology. But I haven't seen any problems with WD Black. Of course, there's always a percent of faulty HDD's but it's the same for all manufacturers.

Guys i really don't get why you are having an argument over the internet over a random guy and what he should get in his PC specs but i do appreciate the effort

I beg to differ. Everybody knows that red PCs run faster by ~10%, it's the law of nature. The same goes pretty much for everything.

Pcpartpicker I made this a little quickly but it should be ok
Edit: oh wait you're australian :3 I'll fix
Edit 2: Since you're not OCing then cpu coolers won't be necessary. I'm pretty sure mine should be one of the best options for you

I can vouch for the MSI GeForce GTX 770 (2GB). It's an absolute beast of a card for the money spent.
