Yeah man what are you looking to do? Need EVERYTHING or just some stuff? Is there anything at all you can reuse like monitor(s), keyboard and mouse, case, etc.? Lots of us here would be willing to help you out.

They sell "bare bones" rigs which are like a motherboard and power supply in a case with maybe a CPU on it. Physically assembling a PC is somewhere between LEGO and erector set difficulty.

I'll see what I can throw together for you. I'm a bit out of the loop on the most current hardware, so I'll steal a popular build and go from there. I recommend you look for cheap or free monitors, and you can find them at... a number of different places. If you know any it bros, a lot of companies will throw out or donate old ones.

Could probably slap a GTX 1080 or 2080 TI in there and get away with it for another 3-5 years if you aren't looking to play 'le modern gaming' experience, that's not too bad in price

Don't buy these parts, but just to show you how few things are actually in there, here's the first build below 1k I saw on the pcpartpicker website. I can tell for sure there's some better stuff for comparable price. You don't ever have to activate or actually purchase windows either.

Check this out. Needs a GPU, but it's $744.96. I'm sure people will pick apart what you should or shouldn't get. This is all purchasable at microcenter. If you buy prebuilt, you're limited on upgrades sometimes because they'll use crappier motherboards and stuff. You want to go strong on the CPU/MOTHERBOARD and the GPU goes to your budget and need. I personally would not do anything too crazy if you just wanna play bf4. But you'll probably want more down the line. You build it yourself and most parts have 3 year+ warranties included.

Id say my budget is around 2k but I'd like something out of the box ready to go for 1k and then 1k for upgrades. That way i can have some back up parts for it

If you're dead set on having it ready to go and not buying parts, microcenter will physically build it for you in the store for $150. My last build was done in under 20 minutes from start while drinking heavily with my buddy. Not exaggerating. It's that easy.
