<$700 PC Build

Here is a PC that I built for a friend as a his first PC. I don't know for sure, but this could play Battle Field 4 at high settings around 40-50 FPS, just to give an idea of the power. The price does not include the OS, but you could find deals for windows 8, and get the windows 10 pre-release.

Here's what I recommend: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vc7QhM

It has a faster graphics card with the new DirectX 12 API - improves performance mostly by reducing CPU bottlenecks. It behaves similarly to Mantle, those performance gains will be most dramatic in CPU-bound systems whose processors aren’t as potent as their graphics capabilities. PCs running modern processors should also see a boost in performance, as both AMD and Intel have been striving to improve their integrated graphics chops in recent years to offset slowing gains in CPU performance. In this case, you're pretty good with your AMD FX 6300.

You can always buy an SSD later.

It is similar to Sardineboy's list, your case is a bit pricey, and it has the "my first PC" look, it is still a great case if you want it and looks are subjective so thats up to you, also you don't need a WD Black drive, you won't get a large benefit from a black drive over a blue. Also the 750Ti is a good GPU but it may not quite be the best choice for BF4, good yes but the 280x/285 is a better choice plus BF4 is an AMD game.

I recommend getting the 270x instead of the 750ti. The 750ti is a great card yes, but the 270x could handle bf4 on ultra(without anti aliasing) and the 270x is only $30 more. Either way great build man.
