short answer would be Yes. it's anyone's guess how well you'll be able to run them though. as Verzy mentioned, you have a very good CPU and a strong GPU and you're probably maxing out most games right now. how much extra performance the next-gen games will demand to max out settings is anybody's guess (one reason I'm skipping haswell and waiting for 2014 to upgrade)
Yes, your CPU will be good for up coming games, if its an i5-3570k then it will last longer since you can OC it. Your video card is good but later on, you might want to switch it out for something like a GTX 770 or 780.
