Need help figuring out if this build can play bf4 on pretty high settings and new games down the road.

Here is the build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/GdJtLk. If you think it's good or have anything I should add let me know. This is basically my budget, but I could go up to 800 if it added a significant boost. If not I'll probably just get a SSD to put my os and games on. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I built this just now for somebody. It has an Intel CPU instead of AMD, for overclocking.

intel cpu are better gaming cpu. the newer h97/z97 mb have the newer sata slots for faster ssd. if you can hold off on the gpu till end of next month nvida and amd may be dropping newer gpu lines. (870/880). if yu can walk into a local micro center there cpu are cheaper then newegg.
 


Thanks man!
 



What can it be over clocked to? And sorry I didn't mention this, but I need an operating system in my budget aswell. 🙁
