Will this be okay for cooling?

In my computer, I use the stock fan for my CPU, (a FX6300) whilst I have a 120mm exhaust fan on the top and rear of the case and a 120mm intake fan in the center and front of the case, creating a flow of air that goes just above the graphics card, over the cpu and out. But will this keep my rig cool enough? I'm gonna be playing games such as BF4 and hopefully watchdogs once they've sorted it out at ultra settings. With one monitor and another to use for facebook, skype etc. Any help, as always, is greatly appreciated, thanks.
 
Should be fine, I've used that stock cooler as the only fan in the case (apart from PSU) and it's been fine, albeit not exactly quiet.

If you plan to game it makes sense to get an after market cooler and overclock, the 6300 is a bit so-so in BF4 until you whack the frequency up.

What do you mean by 'so-so'? When I had my PC up and running at Christmas, it managed to do BF4 at ultra with a steady rate of 40fps without overclocking.
