I do not follow why my rig will not do Crysis on Ultra (according to the requirements lab). It says my card is the weak point, but I looked on the Crysis website, my card meets their requirements and the ones listed on the lab.

Card is a GTX 760. Is there something I'm not getting? Is it something like, although my card will do it, there are cards better at it??

Oh, and what other graphically intensive games are out there? I want to know this rig's limits. So far, from what I've tested it will run everything on ultra or at the very least recommended. Exceptions being Crysis and BF4 (but even Crysis 3 scores will run on recommended settings). BF4 will do minimum only (Card is too weak), so exactly how good does that game look then???

Updated in OP. Add Watch Dogs to the list, because that requires an i7 which I originally planned to add, but was advised i7's aren't really needed for gaming, plus was way too expensive (price being the same reason I don't have a 980 or 680). As I was saying to someone earlier the rig I built will run most games on max, just not all of them. In the uncompromised spec that I had originally planned out it should have had enough power to run everything maxed (although it would still be using a 760 which may have changed to a 770 or 780), just my wallet didn't stretch that far

EDIT: Watch Dogs is apparently DRMed (or was going to be). If this is true, I don't want it now

Well the internet isn't even close to perfect so don't trust that site completely. you should be able to run ultra just fine as I can. You won't have 16x AA with good frame rates but you can't tell the difference between 4x AA and 16x so it doesn't matter. You need to look up 760 benchmarks For each games to get accurate frames per second at what settings.
