Is this a good gaming computer?

Hello everyone! I was wondering if this would be a good computer for running Battlefield 4, Possibly Battlefield Hardline, Rocket League, Cities Skylines, Just Cause 3, GTA 5, and more that I cant think off the bat. It does say on PCPartPicker that it doesnt know if some of the parts are compatible with each other. Here's what it says:

 

* Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs.
 
* Unable to verify the Zalman Z11 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case and the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus 76.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler are compatible.
 
Anyways, Here's my current build list. If you have any questions please let me know.

as much as i hate to say it, there is a single thing i like about this build:

the choice of the hard drive

the rest is crap

Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

Ignore what everyone has said about it being a horrible build, they are ignorant. If you are going to JUST game, you are better off getting an i5 processor because the 8350 is just getting old now. HOWEVER if you intend to game AND stream or do any productivity, the abundance of cores/threads will benefit you. My second system is running an 8350 and only suffers a few frames lost compared to my 4790k with the same graphics card
