Get a 7950 preferably Sapphire for cost/performance
Change the RAM to GSkill Ares
Buy Asrock Extreme,not Performance
Keep the i5

other then that though am i good and also is the myst edition better then the sapphire also if i lower the ram down to 8gb will i still be able to run the games

With 2x4 or 4x4 or 2x8 configuration you'll be fine.Games don't use alot of ram,power programs like Aftereffects do.2x8 gives the highest possibility of expanding ram.
Although a good capable card,it's still a 7870 and an OC 7950 will still beat it performance wise.

alright so i pretty much got my build done except im thinking about getting the Asus z77 sabertooth motherboard and also should i get the gtx 670 instead of the 7950

Get the 670 its a better card
Get the Asus V Pro instead

Your welcome. And beware of Crysis 3 on Ultra. Medium is pretty enough.
