System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming and some web surfing i have a mac so all the other stuff i need to do is on there, i just want to build a system that will run most games at 1080p on ultra at at least 60 fps (games i mostly like to play are arma 2 and 3, battlefield 4, dayz sa and the mod and idd like to get into some mmos)

Definitely a good build, all solid decisions that I would not change unless you are looking to shave of some cost without sacrificing performance or quality.

The only real point that I would change is the cooler, H100i is overpriced and loud, a Noctua NH-d14/d15 does the job just as well and a lot quieter.

Although you would need to get low profile RAM then.
