Is this a good compatible gaming pc build? I mainly play games like Battlefield 4, WoW, and CoD ghosts.
I would like to be able to run bf4 on ultra with 60fps. Will this machine be able to do that? My budget is around 1000$

I left some room for an operating system. Went with a 4670k because it's cheaper than the regular 4670 (I assume you won't be overclocking. If you are, keep the 4670k, and add a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo to the list for about $30).
