It's a good build, and you should be able to play most games at high/ultra with no issues. You'll even be able to run Watch Dogs at high graphical setting. In response to EEG SEXTANT I would not go with AMD, that would be a downgrade; your current build is fine as it is.

You should be able to run any game as far as I'm aware, and probably max them all out too.

All the best. :)
