I'm torn between Fx 8350 or core i5 4670k, I'm trying to get it within the price range of 800-900 simply because taxes puts it at about 1000-1200$ (In Canada) Not including shipping. Play games like warframe, rust, starcraft 2, looking to play battlefield maybe.
 
Solution
Go with the 4670k if possible. Here's my recommendation for $1,200.

The 770 with 4670k will max everything out you listed at 1080p, even 1200p.
