Firstly, go cheaper on the both the case and the PSU. You can get similar PSU's for half the price of that one, just look around. Saving on the case and PSU will save you about $120. Spend this on a better graphics card such as a 760 or an R9 280x which will play both Battlefield and DayZ on ultra settings easily.

Secondly, going with AMD will be cheaper and won't sacrifice much if any performance. An FX 8350 or even a 6300 will do you nicely and will save you loads more money. However, this will also mean choosing a new motherboard.
If you do decide to go with Intel, I'd suggest a Haswell CPU instead of Ivy Bridge.

Lastly, don't forget about your operating system.

Oh yeah and I forgot to mention. If you do go Intel don't get the K version processor if you are not going to be overclocking which by the looks of things your not going to be due to the fact that you don't have a CPU cooler.
