High settings on all games 1080p

I'd say high settings 1080p too, between 40 and 90 fps depending on the game's optimization towards AMD.

The only thing I'd change there is the PSU. Get GS if staying with corsair, or try finding an Antec HCG modular. They should be slightly more expensive, but they're much more reliable on the long run than the CX builder series.
Also, the 212 evo is pretty "beefy", so it's best if you took low profile ram sticks
