I recently was on here asking about a good build for $2000 but then I realized I wouldn't be able to afford that so I was thinking about a build between $600 and $1000 that can run Crysis 3, Far Cry 3 and Tomb Raider on Ultra settings at 60 FPS. So what builds do you got for me? Please include an SSD, HDD and an optical drive also and my monitor is a 1920 by 1080 resolution.

Yeah, I saw that article. Do you think it could cut through the games I listed at 60 FPS?

The SSD and the cooler are optional, you can achieve 60 fps @ 1080p without them.

Well that question I could not answer honestly without reservation. But this build is a good place to start tweaking. Your performance is balance in a 800 buck machine. Spend a few bucks to up the graphics perhaps...

I personally would not use stock fans on my CPU, give this a look over, I know it adds to the cost but it is well spent indeed to give life to a expensive CPU.

The 280x and 770 basically run neck and neck, some 280x's are very fast but you pay the price also. Many say the Sapphire Toxic 280x is the ticket, but I don't know, at $470 your up into 780 price range. Perhaps the 770 is a good starting point, then add one later on when you have the money for a couple more screens.
