All I would suggest it getting the i5-4670K rather than the 4430, It will preform better and you have the ability to overclock for that extra performance, and probably last that bit longer, it will cost you $50 more though. But apart from that you should be sweet.

Budget is under $1,100
types of games FPS, RTS, RPG, Racing, really anything from the highest production value AAA games to the lowest budget indie games
life span as long as possible and upgrading down the road would be nice but not necessary
