I made a build on iBuyPower, and I want to know if it's worth the $1150 I'll be paying for it, as well as what kind of games I can run at what settings. (Mainly evolve, star citizen, AC Unity,

windows 7 ultimate is a great deal, but the RAM and GPU are terrible. Get two sticks (2x8GB) G.Skill ram instead, and get a i5 4690 and a GTX 760 or r9 280.

Not necessarily.
If, for instance, Win 7 Pro was $60, and Win 7 Home premium was $50 on that same clicky selection....Ultimate is simply wasted money. It brings no performance benefit.

Would there be any notable difference between a 4690 and a 4670?(they only have the 4670 available on the site)
Apologies for general noobishess, I'm very new to the whole computer building business, as well as this site.
