Would this play big name games at a minimum of medium textures with 30 FPS? For clarification i mean games like Fallout 4, GTA 5, and Batman Arkham Knight

You can use this build and add stuff that you want. Baseline is, if you dont have an a88x board or higher, you wont get any eprformance out of the 860k because you have to overclock it for it to be that effective. It can still run without overclocking, yeah but seriously? you're not gonna want that power to be dormant. This build would generally give you a better experience with 1080p. even better if you get a 2gb r9 380 or something if you plan your budget well.
