I built a new system for a friend in 2013 as his system was extremely outdated and he was ready to go to next gen so he could play Battlefield 4 as well as other PC games. I set him up with some good hardware and assembled it all so he could enjoy Battlefield 4 and most other games on the market at comfortable frame rates. Here are the specs:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Processor: Intel Core i5-4670K @ 4.4GHz
Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming
Memory: Corsair XMS3 2x4GB @ 1333MHz
Heat-sink: Sunbeamtech Twister 120
Power Supply: Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 750W
Graphics Card: EVGA Superclocked GTX 770 w/ ACX Cooling
Hard Drives: Seagate Barracuda 500GB (x2)
Optical Drive: Samsung DVDRW
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Case: DIYPC Adventurer-9601R
Other: ASUS PCE-AC66 PCI-E Wireless Adapter

Some of the parts were recycled from his old system. Those parts include the heatsink, the HDDs and the GTX 460. The Toughpower Grand is an old PSU from my system before I upgraded to my AX1200i. Everything else listed is for the build is brand new. That being said, the used parts all look pretty pristine but the HDDs could use some replacing sometime soon as they appear to be having some minor performance issues. Sorry for some of the pictures as looking back some of them have huge flash issues and I didn't realize it until after reviewing them.
