It's really a question that can't be answered. No one really knows how much processing power will matter in future games. The two games you listed will have no problem running at max settings, 1080p, well over 60 FPS. Battlefield 4 will run the same. As long as your over 50-60 FPS, the game will run visually smooth.

It's basically a hard drive, but doesn't use any internal moving parts. It's flash memory and is more reliable than a standard hard drive.

That's why it's more expensive than the hard drive, gigabyte for gigabyte, but is totally worth it.

Get whatever you think you will need for your entertainment. If you load up on Blu-rays, get a 2 TB hard drive. If you just game and usually stick to a few games at a time, get a 1 TB. I have a 1 TB, and it's barely half full (3.5 years). That's with 70+ movies (1080p and lower), 20+ games, astronomical amount of music, and some programs.

A Hyper 212 EVO will fit your application perfectly, but if you really want liquid cooling, go with an AIO like the Corsair H50.

You can use it anyway you want. Most people install the operating system onto the SSD, and everything else on their hard drive. This allows your computer to boot through the SSD every time, and start your computer in seconds. There are more complicated things like AHCI mode and memory dumping, but they aren't important at the moment. If you don't care about how long it takes your computer to boot up, transfer files, read/write files, etc., then save the money and get a hard drive only. I just think for 70 bucks, it's worth it.
