I'm building a budget gaming PC. I'll be running Windows 8.1 Pro. I came up with the following parts list, and I was wondering if anyone has answers to some questions I have.
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Questions
-Will this be able to play games on Ultra/Max? (Upcoming games such as GTA V and The Crew, as well as older games like Just Cause 2 and GTA IV w/ graphics enhancers)
-Are there any parts that can be replaced for a lower price while maintaining the ability to play the above?
-Are there any compatibility issues that PC Part Picker didn't catch?
-Will the stock Intel cooler be enough? If not, do you have any suggested budget CPU coolers?
-Do you have any suggestions for budget WiFi cards?
