All I left out of the build is a case, and im stuck between these 4.
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/thermaltake-case-vn400a1w2... ($44.99 @microcenter)
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/thermaltake-case-vl800p1w2... ($44.99 @amazon)
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-m59001bk ($55.98 @newegg)
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-case-rc912kk... ($44.99 @newegg)

So is this a good build? The Cpu+Mobo is a bundle deal from microcenter, its in-store pickup only, and I only live about 1 1/2 hours away so I picked that. If this is a good build, what fps+settings would I get on Dayz Standalone?

I said I would buy the monitor separate, and even without that monitor that's still $1058.90, that's out of my price range.

What settings+fps would I get on games like Dayz/BF4. I tested it on game debate and asked, and some of the people there said It would play most games at high-ultra 40-60fps. and that it would come close to maxing out dayz? Is that close to true?

I think you should be able to max out dayz and play BF on high settings.
