You have a way overpowered CPU and a way underpowered GPU, and power supply, this will be a much better build for gaming

I would say that there's too much money invested on the CPU motherboard, and not enough on the rest of the system. You don't need an i7 to play games well. An i5 would do fine.

The power supply seems pretty low, but for that system I guess it could work, but you have little room to no room to upgrade in the future.

Something like this might be a little bit more ideal:
