Hi, this is a set up that i am looking to build and i was wondering will this be enough to play on games like battlefield 4 and future games at high settings?

CPU: Intel i5 2500 or i5 2500K
CPU Cooler: Stock heatsink
GPU: MSI R9 270x 4gb
Motherboard: MSI H61 MP20 mATX 1155 socket
RAM: Crucial 8gb Ballisitx ddr3 1600mhz
PSU: Corsair CX600 or 500

Resolution is 1600x900 on a HP2011x
 
Solution
Looks good, here is what I would change though.

PSU to a XFX pro/core.
Heatsink to a Hyper 212 +

Go with the 2500k, assuming this is all a certain budget constraint.

And although they are so similar, I'd grab a 760.

Best regards, Vel.

I was not planning on overclocking, so should i still go for the 2500k?
And in regards to the psu, i've heard good things about the corsair cx and it looks like it is built with great quality. Is the XFX better?
