with and AMD system you can spend less for cpu and save more cash to splash for gpu. the games you listed are more gpu intensive games... so i believe you can get AMD's best cpu fx-8350 (at the moment) with a cheaper price than intel i5-3570k and splash the rest of the cash to a better gpu... (well ofc. i5-3570k is performing slightly higher than fx-8350 but it will help you shift ~50$ to gpu instead)

here are two lists from me for $1000 with amd and intel systems... (both are overclock ready)

AMD: ~$400 is monitor, keyboard, mouse, speaker, op.system
