Is my setup good enough?

I just want to know if I can run games well, especially Arma 3 multiplayer. Thanks! And if this is a good build overall.

These are the specs:

Whats your budget?

Medium settings for the games I think

APU isn't powerful for gaming IF you had discrete GPU. APU it's powerfull with integrated GPU on it, of course with decent DDR3 RAM you can play BF4 medium setting in FHD
If i could say, get the i5 haswell or ivy bridge and the GTX 750ti and you will more a lot of fun with this rig

My budget is about $700 (flexible)

Wilma, would I be able to run Arma 3 on high with at least 30 fps online with the specs you proposed?

Arma 3 it's cpu bound. So it's yes, i5 haswell it's enough for cpu bound gaming. You will running 30~45 fps with that spec
Take the mainboard 9 series in case if you want upgrade your rig to broadwell (maybe). And also check the hierarchy chart in here :

Even the i5-2300 sandy bridge it's on top tier of cpu gaming

And my name is wima btw, not wilma LOL
