Would this build be able to run BF4 on ultra settings?

Oh my Lord I'm also blind. LOL. I completely missed the fact that he paired Intel w/ AM3+ as well. But the Mobo that DroneDroneDrone link will do fine.

But to be fair its perfectly fine getting all fussed over the PSU since its the one component that can fry everything else in a single second.

Umm...Thats an AMD board with an Intel socket 1150 CPU...Not going to work there. Grab a different motherboard, and that PSU is absolutely fine. 600 watt Corsair more than enough for that build and Corsair has an excellent warranty on all their products. Customer service is top notch and never had issues with them. Also good choice on your R9-280x. It's the same card as a HD 7970 and has tons of overhead room for overclocking. Use the latest 14.7 driver paired with BF4's mantle and you're golden. Wouldn't go overboard on multi-sampling anti-aliasing though. Just a forewarning there, but otherwise everything looks good.
