I'm building this PC probably a bit before Christmas, budget is about 750-800 not including monitor. I'll be playing lots of games, but not super taxing ones (Skyrim, some shooters, WoW, RTS like Starcraft). Tell me how you think it'll perform or if there are parts you would switch out.

It will run games at high settings, not ultra.

Some issues:
-CPU cooler is pointless because you cannot overclock
-PSU is low quality. Change for an Antec, XFX, Seasonic.

-I second tiny voices. CPU cooler won't serve a purpose.
If you cut it out, and change the card to a 280x (far more powerful; http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-video-card-r9280xtdfd) and get a better psu such as (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750snlb9) for about $883.25 total. Far more powerful (easily getting high if not ultra fps 1080p)
Now if you're willing to go slightly over budget (Less than 60 dollars) for far superior frames, check this build; http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Mmm9FT If you don't plan to overclock, toss the cpu cooler, and the cd drive and get a cheap SSD (like 40-60 bucks) It'll easily achieve high frame rate on ultra at 1080 and moderate 1440p gaming.
