First ever build-Gaming pc! Are components good choices?

[theeOBESEninja]

This is my first ever build and have around £600 ($880) to spend! I have a very basic knowledge of components and think this would be a good build for using as a gaming rig with Maxed out settings on most games?!
Opinions on the choices made would be appreciated!

CPU is a very bad choice for gaming. The AMD FX series has a low IPC, so you don't get to take full advantage of the clock speed. Also, what game takes advantage of all six threads? Also, I don't think that even Linus with the marketing power he has, would be able to build a computer to max out all settings in all games for under $2,000.

I had to sacrifice the GPU in order to stay within budget. I recommend upgrading later when you have the money
