Hey, My brother wants me to build him a computer that will mostly run minecraft and CS:GO. Could you people look at the build and tell me if It should be fine?

We live in New Zealand So I'm gonna keep $300NZD for shipping. The budget is roughly around $1150USD ($1455NZD)

 

Here is what I have so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CLZDhM

PC: FX-8350 @ 4.2 Ghz | GeForce GTX 980 SC | Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 | Corsair H100i | 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 Mhz | Samsung 840 Pro 120GB | WD Black 2TB | Corsair AX760i | Fractal Define R4 |
