if you look here http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html
intel is killing all amd's in perfomance...even with 6 cores...the r9 maybe do well with next gen, but as i tell anyone with a amd....medium

CPUs don't really matter much in gaming, as i have a 6350 and can still max out most games because of my GPU (R9 280).

Yes but I would invest in a good aftermarket CPU cooler such as the Hyper Evo 212 (Make sure it'll fit your case!) to help keep temps down during long gaming sessions. Also you may want to grab a larger PSU like 850W+ only because it seems like games are utilizing more VRAM and eventually you'll probably want to grab a second gpu so you can run crossfire. All in all its a good build that should last awhile. Also what is your HD or SSD? An SSD is almost essential for BF4 due to longer loading screens then your average FPS. I had about 2 min loading screens with a old WD Raptor and went down to about 25 seconds with a samsung 840 pro.

I think it's a really good AMD build that should last a few years. I would still go with a larger powersupply though so you'll have extra power for future upgrades but 600W is fine for now (if you've already purchased it). Also if you do get a bigger PSU I'd recomend EVGA since the XR edition of there power supplies have a 10 year warranty as long as you register within 30 days of purchase.

So I made an estimate using wattage from PCPartpicker...
System Estimate=489 Watts
System in Crossfire Estimate=739 Watts
EVGA 220-G2-0850-XR or EVGA 120-G2-1000-XR
*I currently have the 850w in my desktop gamer and have had no issues*
