KillerGamer is right. There is really no use for that unlocked processor at that price range. I put these parts together:

These are assuming you don't need peripherals like a monitor/keyboard/mouse. With the 'k' version of you processor, it doesn't make much sense not getting a z87 board. I went with nvidia gpu because i generally prefer them, but you could pick another amd card if you'd like, such as the 7850; just try to stay in big brands like gigabyte asus sapphire xfx. Also, there are a myriad of different cases you could go with in the <$50 price range, but corsair is a good brand. Other good brands include coolermaster, antec, thermaltake, nzxt, rosewell, etc.

Call Of Duty at Ultra may be possible. However, I highly dount if Crysis 3 can be played at Ultra. Your graphics card is slightly low-end to play at Ultra. At least a GTX660/HD7870/R9 270(X) are needed to play it at Ultra and all of them are upwards of $200 (Almost all of them). However, with that said, the build is very nice and you will face absolutely no problems in playing these games at High or Medium. If you can extend your budget then I'd strongly recommend going for the GTX660/HD7870/R9 270/ R9 270X. Hope this helped :)

You can look at a GTX760 if you want a cheaper GPU and will be fine with High settings:

Or a GTX660:

I also found that a Zotac GTX660TI Amp! Edition was cheaper than a regular GTX660 on a local website and so you may want to look at those offers and check local websites and stores for deals. Hope this helped :)

The motherboard is suitable for overclocking. Yes, this is better than the Xbox One. I say you will be able to play games for up to about 3 years minimum until you need to upgrade the graphics card. Both processor and graphics card play important roles and I wouldn't suggest downgrading any component. Also, I found that a Corsair CX750 was retailing cheap so you may want to have a look. That will make your PC more future-proof as you won't need to increase the Wattage. I'm glad my answer helped :) If you have any more questions then you can PM me anytime :)

I'm glad my answer helped you 😀 Some famous games would include Battlefield 3 and 4, the Call Of Duty series, the Crysis 2 and 3, Far Cry 2 and 3, Left 4 Dead 2, Mafia 2, Max Payne 3 (I'm just giving names of good games and the developers of these games haven't sponsored me or anything). The list is almost never ending. Judging the power of a graphics card on its memory isn't correct. 2GB is perfectly fine to play any game on Ultra, but you can't play any recent game on Ultra with a GT640 2GB but you can play all the games maxed out with a GTX690 2GB. I strongly suggest looking at the benchmarks before purchasing any graphics card. I doubt a video card for under $150 will be able to max out the newer gen games. The GTX660 is a very good graphics card and will be able to play almost any game with max settings (All games won't be maxed out). The PNY GTX660 is retailing for $159.99 and is feel it's a fair deal if you want a video card for about $150. If you have any more questions then I'll be happy to help :)
