This is a good build for a versatile system. However, if you are going to be overclocking remember to use an after-market cooling solution. I reccomend this Zalman:

Another thing you might want to do is bump up your power supply to a 750 watt, even though it is unnecessary, it is nice for later upgrades. The V300 series SSD is good but there has been a lot of complaints about the newer editions not being manufactured properly so it is a draw for the rare, but good one. Due to that I recommend an OCZ Vector 150 series SSD. If you are thinking about upgrading to 32 gigabytes of RAM you are fine, but if you aren't, but are thinking of 16 GB in the future switch to 2 Dimms x 4 GB so you can take advantage of dual channel RAM, which won't make a marginal difference but still a good difference. Now if you aren't overclocking, downgrade the i5 into a regular i5 - 4670, and save some money as you don't need an aftermarket cooler with that. Anyways the graphics card is fine for those games and even a bit higher resolutions, so 2K is fine (albeit not on maximum settings, but you could turn the AA as 2K will reduce the jagged lines), and makes it better because AMD excels at higher resolutions. Good Luck!
