New entry level build (NZ) is it any good?

If you can provide a rough budget I can see if I can make any improvements.

No point in the A8-6600K with a R7 260X. Better off with maybe a G3258 Pentium & whatever is left over for GPU. R9 270X maybe?

I'd have a look on pricespy.co.nz too, you can often save a few bucks here and there with them as apposed to pcpartpicker. And if you are looking to build toward the end of the year pick your parts then, things change quickly in the PC world ;)

And I think that you will need an aftermarket cooler for that AMD CPU .From what I have heard they get pretty darned hot during long gaming sessions
