Is this a good build for a gaming pc? http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/gabriel98/saved/4s6r

That'll be a great gaming PC, but if you have room left in your budget I'd consider a better CPU although the 760K isn't bad.

If you can stretch your budget a little bit more please choose this

i changed 1x8 to 4x2 Gb RAM (dual channel is 15% better)
Changed mb and CPU to a more newer socket and better CPU that wont bottleneck your GPU like the Athlon one

If you want to get a cheaper PC don't buy that wireless adapter, either connect it directly to the internet or buy a USB adapter that are much cheaper and don't require a PCIe port, that's a waste
