Will this build be able to run games such as Guild Wars 2, Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Dead Island, Assassin's Creed 3, etc... at high to ultra settings?
Also, how is it compatibility wise?

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to read this!

It looks good! You will most definitely be able to max out those games, considering I'm able to on my OC'd 570. The only thing I would add is a Crucial M4 SSD, since you have the money left in your budget. Also, do you own a copy of Windows that you'll be installing or are you planning on purchasing one? Even so, with $323 left over in your budget as above, you can get both a copy of windows and a 124GB Crucial M4.

thanks! the only thing is, i didn't really go into detail in the first post but, i actually have about $1400 in total ready for this build. after all my parts and monitor, plus a pay check from work, ill have about $600 left. i need to use that to get the gpu, and also a keyboard and wifi adapter. windows 7 i will be buying too, so i wont have much left after it all, but i would definitely go for an ssd when i get some more money to use
