You could go I3-6100, Gigabyte GA-H110M-A, and DDR4 memory for the same price.

^that^ that's a fantastic $500 build as far as gpu and cpu go but Really that hdd is not going to last long with the size of games today(although I geuss It'll still hold all the ones mentioned) I have a i5 4460 and a 380 4gb, and I play fallout 4 at medium settings at 1080 by 2560p seriously though I would spend the little bit extra and get a 1tb hard drive

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.2427000 < this build wont give you the same performance (though you'll still be able to handle the games you mentioned) but it has a few things that the other build doesn't i.e. an ssd, a larger hdd, a mother board with more expandability especially where ram is concerned, and a case with more fans. I really would suggest either of these builds.
