I want to play games like Fallout 4, Arma 3, DayZ, Battlefront, ect. and I'm not sure if i should upgrade my graphics card. I would like to know if i would be fine with this set up.

The 270x will play those games, upgrading your GPU much higher with the same processor will reach a point of diminishing returns (in the future). In other words you will maybe get more graphical fidelity but your processor will eventually not be able to keep up. So IMO at this point its not really worth it, these games should play fine as is. Upgrade your GPU some day when you need to do a full system upgrade.
