looks decent enough. some points to note:

if you're budget is stretched you can drop the RAM from 16Gb to 8Gb, the difference for gaming will be negligible.
try and get windows 8.1 instead of 7, it runs games better
if you can stretch your budget further go for a GTX970, that said the 4GB 960 is a good card.

It'll work. if possible, maybe get a higher quality PSU.

You don't really need the CPU cooler if you're going with a locked CPU. You could save some money there.

Other than that, what's said above is good to follow. Main thing that i think is important is the 16gb vs 8gb thing. If you do a lot of multitasking, then go with the 16gb. Otherwise, 8gb is fine.

looks good, as other posters have said, if you're not going to overclock, you really don't need the cooler. The CPU will come with its own cooler that will do the job fine.
