Your build won't max out. The best for both of these might be high-Ultra.

@OP Looks like a great build you've got there. If you've got the money I'd try and swing for that build over an AMD build. Between the GTX 970, and the i5 4460, it'll be plenty good for gaming. The upgrade path will be much better down the line as well as compared to AMD's FX.

OP's build is really good IMO because it's intel CPU+dual memory+GTX 970+XFX 550W is enough so good job to you.

All builds within this thread (including the OP's) exceeds the $925 budget. Mail-in rebates are enabled, hence you'll end up paying more upfront. For your budget, I'd go with the following build:
