You could save about 100 bucks dropping the quality of the case/psu but this is a real solid build for around a grand. Would play the games you listed on ultra with no issues, as well as more intensive games. Built in the option to overclock which is something you should look into, MMO's especially like high clock speeds. Post if you have any questions on the build.
Thats fine you dont have to overclock, but the option is there down the road if you decide to. Build stays same either way, building your own PC gives you a chance to control the quality of your parts above all else : ) I even suggest aftermarket CPU coolers to people who dont overclock because a CPU will last longer and your PC will be quieter.
