Is this build good for playing bf3, Skyrim and TF2?

(Not going to purchase immediately so not going to take advantage of rebates)
 
Solution
you can actually pick up a radeon 7950 for 20 dollars more or a 7870ghz edition for 10 dollars more. CPU is a good entry level one, more then enough to play games. ram is good though i think there are 10 dollar cheaper sets of corsair vengence 8gb (2x4) case is good, psu is good and has a strong 12v rail.

but if you wanna stick to what you picked out its more then enough to run those games on ultra.
