I will be using this PC for gaming and I would like to know your opinions on this build. (Preferred experienced PC builders but all are welcome to give feedback). http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YC9LvK I also forgot to mention that I want to run games maxed out with 60fps ultra settings with a 1080p resolution. (Games like GTA V and CS:GO)

 
Solution
CPU + MB + Cooler - You have an H110 board (non-overclocking) paired with a K series CPU (overclocking) which is a bit of a mismatch. Look toward a non-k series CPU, and also the H170 platform. The board below has built-in WiFi and BT.
CPU Cooler - Not needed. The stock cooler will be fine.
MEM - H110 / H170 are "limited" to DDR4-2133. No need to go over...
SSD - Look toward Crucial or Samsung. Also, 64GB is not large enough for anything more than JUST the OS. 120GB minimum, or 240+ preferred.
PSU - XFX, Seasonic, the EVGA G2 lineup, or filter through the Tier 1 or Tier 2 list. No Corsair Builder for sure!!! http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Things to note this is an $800 build without a monitor, also a 960 is not the best card for gta V. and a $800 budget you are not going to get 60 fps average in GTA V.

edit: I'm not sure why it double posts my build
also there is no data drive in my build just something to be aware of.

this was a good build when asrock was still free to enable Sky OC on locked cpu socketed on Z170 boards, but the company removed the Bios versions and we have no news about the possibility for new to boards to get a 100% working OLD Bios (especially if they get a silent revision). I 'd advise to get a 6500 for the higher clock spending 20$ more and saving for a h170 board and 2133mhz memory

You could cut the price a little by getting a h170 board but I couldn't find cheaper ram. Having the possibility of faster ram was worth the $5-10 in my opinion.
