If you can afford it, I would recommend installing 16 gb of ram instead of 8 gb if you intend on gaming on it. It will be much more future proof for modern games. Your GPU is a solid choice, and if you really wanted to, you could even OC it to get close to GTX 1080 performance. Your CPU should hold up as well for a few years.
