I am not able to answer your original question because, as the others have said, the links are not working. However, between the 2 builds being discussed here so far, I think that random's would be a better choice over 57's.
It wouldnt really be worth spending the extra $39 dollars for the processor. It will not provide enough of a performance benefit to you to warrant the additional cost. The more expensive motherboard isnt absolutely needed here either.

Why did you make a new thread? There was no need to whatsoever.
Anyways, this will be fine. There is 230$ for peripherals and/or upgrades.

1. There exist only 2gb and 4gb gtx 770s.
2. 1 monitor + battlefield 4 can require more than 1gb
3. It's much better to waste now and get a good fps. Than to spare money and have to waste more later to get the same fps.
4. How was that a troll?

You're just jealous that you don't know how to use it? It's called helping people, which is what you're not doing.

Those computers you selected are from American stores, which means you'd be paying alot more for the same performance. If you wanted a $1500 USD build without a monitor and keyboard, this would destroy the computers you listed.

Nice troll post. But, for one monitor, a 2GB GFX card is not necessary

You don't know what you're talking about, they don't even make 1GB 770's. Don't accuse him of being a troll, when you don't know jack.

Yes, it is. This is completely within his budget and would run any game at 60+ on Ultra. Do not accuse me of being a troll when trying to help someone.
