My mom said that because I've kept my grades up this year, she'll spend 600-700$ to help me build a nice, gaming computer. This means I have about 400-500$ budget on my own money to help buy parts.
I've already decided my OS will be Windows 8.1, and CPU Inten i5 4670k.
I currently need help on GPU, Motherboard, Memory, Solid-State Drive, Hard Disk Drive and Optical Drive.
Any suggestions? I have about a 1000-1200$ total budget.

''windows 8 sucks on games''
It doesn't actually.
I played Apocalypse Rising and it gave me smooth and fast game play. |

I'd save your money on getting Windows 8.1 and use that to get more HDD or a better GPU.
Wait for the SteamOS to be released and get the Steam Controller.

Sorta. I hope to be able to build a PC that can run games like DayZ and Battlefield 4 without lag. |

If you want to store lots of games on your computer then go for a HDD because SSDs with lots of storage are expensive but if you want to decrease game loading times and boot times then buy an SSD but an SSD is not all that important if your just going to play games.
Republic of Gamers and ASUS are good brands for motherboards but if your going to overclock I would go with a Republic of Gamers motherboard.
8GB of RAM is good for gaming.
For the graphics card I would go with something from the Nvidia GTX 700 series
I would choose Windows 7 for gaming but its your choice.
