Hi, I want to know if this components are good enough for playing civilization V, Beyond Earth, europa universalis IV, smash bros brawl on dolphin,metal gear solid V, the witcher 3, evolve, and the rest of this gen at 1080p and 60 (or near) fps with almost everything maxed out.

I choose that motherboard because it comes with a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module, so I can play with 4 dualshocks with friends ( which is the main objective), but I don't know if a dongle and a cheaper motherboard would be better. I don't plan on doing overclocking that's why the xeon; maybe will add a ssd later.
 
Solution
Yes, your build will run most games at 1080p on high to maxed settings with at least 60 FPS. The only criticism is the quality of the power supply.

Solution
Modified build to add SSD. The PSU is Tier 2, so it's fine.
