All my parts are

Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Asus Z87-PLUS ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Video Card
BitFenix Shinobi Window ATX Mid Tower Case
EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

I am building on a budget and I was curious if it will run properly and games such as skyrim, civ 5, splinter cell, and simcity on ultra- high settings.

sorry I don't know if I posted this in the right category

It looked like a build budget of around $800, so I'm assembled this

Then go for the i5. Their performance is roughly the same, but it has way better single core performance, which is currently more important.

i5 does have a better single core performance, but FX 8 cores has a better performance when it comes to video rendering and etc. I would go with FX since NCIX is having a huge discount with that CPU and MB combo, it's like $76 off. So with that I was able to pick up a CPU cooler, SSD, GTX 760, and better PSU. However, it's obviously up to you on what you want to get.
