You would need to check that the cooler will fit in your case.

I'm guessing you are gaming at 720p? If not and you are at 1080p, you have no chance of achieving high/max settings in games like Battlefield 4 running budget/mid range components.

The above build looks great and if budget permits definitely go for that one. With your budget, high-max settings in games such as bf4 is pretty much impossible. This is a cheap option that can run low-mid 1080p on most games, but don't expect anything amazing from it:
