Hello. I was wondering if this build I created would work and give me optimal performance on pretty powerful games like BF4 on 1080p with an average of 60-70fps? I didn't include some things because I already have the RAM (8GB 1600Mhz), 500GB HDD, and I even have a 120GB SSD as well. So will this give me what I'm looking for???

This will max out BF4 and will not hold you back for many years.

Yeah, it's that I'm on a tight budget and if I get something higher I won't be able to get the 4670k which I heard is one of the best processors for gaming so that's why I want it. But I've heard the GTX 760 is a good card. But my budget is like $600-$630.

This actually looks real good, and since it isn't the 4670k, I can't OC, but that's fine. I guess I can do that upgrade later on. Is the motherboard made for Crossfire as well? For later on I guess.

It's a Z87 so it is made for Crossfire, but I wouldn't advise it (2nd GPU runs at x4). The only people that should Crossfire are those that have a 144Hz monitor or 3x1080p, otherwise stick to one GPU and you'll be happy. A single 280x will max out almost everything you throw at it. Also, since you aren't overclocking the CPU you don't have to worry about heat as much.

Okay. I was just contemplating a bit as to if the 280x over the 760 would make that much of a difference. & I wanted the 4670k processor. But I guess I can upgrade to that later in the future.

I imagine selling and upgrading a GPU is much easier than a CPU. If you want to overclock then I'd say get a 4670k. If you want to hit 60fps (cuz that is the highest a 60Hz monitor can display) then get a 280x. A 760 will get you close but not totally there.

Say I were to play other games like Call of Duty, which is not as gpu and cpu hungry as BF4 is obviously, would the 760 be able to handle those games at max settings nicely, paired up with a 4670k as well?
