So I made a post a while ago asking about this build, and now that I'm on the precipice of buying, I'd like a few more opinions and feedback.

I'm hoping this will run games on high settings, with 60FPS+.
The games I intend to play are:
GTA V, Total War series, Skyrim, Chivalry Medieval Warfare and others.
(I plan on streaming Twitch later down the road too)
My current laptop is an Asus G73JH, with a ATI Mobility Radeon 5870 (So I'm looking for a nice upgrade option to PC). It's able to play a lot of games pre-2015/14 pretty well, but it's struggling nowadays. For instance, (Anyone familiar with Total War will understand) When I play Total War games, I can't fight battles with more than 1000-1200 troops before I start getting some bad lag. I'd like to change that and see hordes of 4k+ men engaged in bloody slaughter.
I don't exactly have a budget per say (I'm buying part by part, looking for best quality at a decent price), but I'd like to stay around the 600$ mark if I can. (The GPU is about 227$, but I'm buying it last so I'm not worried about that.)
I do not have a monitor right now (I'd like to get a decent one for 120$ max), but I have a mouse and keyboard.I already have an OS too. I have already ordered the case +some extra fans, so that is something that can't be changed really.
