Yes, very well.

Considering you already have 125hrs in ARK, I kinda get the feeling this is a boasting thread of your specs?

I reckon Epic at 1080p for about 30-40fps, High at 50-60fps.

no its not im getting a new rig. i left the game on when i go to school and it just stacks up hours. i've only actually played for like 2 hours with 20 fps and screen glitches every 10 seconds and screen freezes. i am playing on a laptop from 4 years ago with a 1.8ghz dual core processer and a 2gb graphics card. none of which is made for gaming

Yeah it'll do great.
But avoid the 120GB SSD and dont go any less than 250GB.

Ok, the rig will play smooth as butter, the only thing i could say about it is the processor, I've got the 6500 too, and it plays cool and nice with Ark, but with strategy games, or short future games not so much, I have to say that I'm personally regreeting not making the effort back in the day and getting the i7 6700, I do specially when playing Europa Universalis IV and any strategy game. It's up to you, but from my opinion, that CPU is going to botleneck your rig sooner or later.

i7's offer NO benefit over i5s in games unless the game is specifically designed to utilize more than 4 Cores/Threads.

The i5 6600k is about $150 cheaper than the i7 6700k and when overclocked beats the i7 on boost by about 4%, even on multithreaded tests and is about 10-15°C cooler.

Use the 120 ssd for windows only. Nothing else.
