What resolutions do you plan on playing at?
This system should run any game on the market (save Crysis 3) completely maxed out at 1080p. I'm sure you can get Crysis 3 to run on high, but maxed out will be trouble.

A few things to note in this build:

1) 990fx chipset motherboards aren't necessary for mid end gaming builds. You would be able to save some money by getting a 970 chipset. They run about 80-110 USD.

Hope I could help!

Only things I can see to make it better would be to either purchase an FX8350 (about 80 dollars more) and maybe an upgraded GPU. If you have any sort of budget or simply are not an enthusiast, this build is probably as good as its gonna get
