I was wondering if this seemed like a good build for around $900? I'll be doing some gaming.

Getting a K series chip is pointless with that motherboard since it won't overclock. I would get a Xeon 1230v3 over a 4670k if stuck with a non overclocking board. Here is an AMD option for a little under $900 with a far better GPU. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
