I already have the case, hard drive, extra corsair fans, just wondering will this work and play gta v on highest settings, call of duty advanced warfare, battle field 4 and the newer ones
 
Yes, it should be more than fine.

I would actually wait for Intel Skylake CPUs and see how they go with games, not to mention consumer-grade DDR4. No reason in getting an i7 and DDR3 now if the new ones are going to be better, or at least that's how I see it 😛

About those games, as long as you consider 1920x1080@60hz as your resolution, I'd say it'll go down like this:
- I don't have the slightest idea about GTA, as I haven't researched anything on the game and don't like it enough to do it. If I had to take a very rough guess, it'll run maxed out or close to it.
- Advanced Warfare will most surely run at high settings, but maxed out ones have been plagued from the start by memory leak issues, and some options are outright insane themselves in terms of requirements. You might reach them, but FPS drops would soon ensue, and considering the genre it's not recommended.
- Battlefield 4 will most likely run maxed out.
- Newer games in general will vary between high and max, with particular exceptions that might apply from game to game (such as Nvidia Hairworks or AMD TressFX, which will most likely need to be disabled)
 


Will the DDR4 work with the intel i7 i currently stated and motherboard?

 
Nope. On the consumer front, only Haswell-E (5000 series) and the soon-coming Skylake (6000 series) currently support DDR4. Moreover, they won't be compatible with the current motherboards either (albeit they've already been announced by some manufacturers such as ASUS, I believe), which is why I advised you to wait.

They'll be incompatible with each other, but if they can give you a better performance than the current Haswell & DDR3 and actually come out for the same price of current pieces, why go for older hardware?
