Hey, this is my first time building a PC and this is the final build I have settled on. I am running a 1080p setup and wondering what can this system get for in terms of performance (running at high or very high etc) for games like BF4, DAY Z, Wordl of TANKS, WoW.

Also, will the cooling on the GPU and CPU be sufficient with stock fans or should i get a CPU and GPU cooling units?

It will work fine. Stock fans will work great, but if you plan to overclock your CPU you should get aftermarket cooler.

The CPU that you selected cannot overclock. If you are not going to use the stock cooler it will be more than enough. If you are going to overclock choose a different CPU, like 4670K. And at least RAM with 1600MHz

The amount of memory is fine, I think 8GB is the sweet spot atm for games. I would push to 1600mhz RAM though with XMP profile. Because with that i5 although it's not the unlocked multiplier you can still slightly tweek them in BIOS (I do with my i7-2600). The RAM that utilises Intel XMP profile will scale with the processor perfectly when it ramps up to it's turbo frquency. I personally would not spend money on aftermarket cooling when running at stock speed or with a very mild overclock. You can usually raise a non unlocked intel CPU by 4 CPU bins which will squeeze out an extra 400mhz without even bothering the processor at all.

Also to answer the question about games, I believe that machine will perform fine in pretty much anything. I would definitely change the RAM though.

Also as a side note, I'm not sure what you plan to do with the machine in the future but if you only ever plan to use one GPU and non K processors you could save some cash and go for a H81 chipset motherboard...
