This is my first build here, would like if you guys could overlook it and let me know if i missed anything, and if its overall a solid build for Gaming at 1080p and 60 FPS before I go ahead an purchase everything. Budget is $800 I'm a little above it but that's fine.

Also, the reason I'm getting 16GB of ram and a Wireless card is due to my father wanting me to get that much and he's paying for it otherwise I'd prefer 8GB!

That is a great looking build. Nice balance between economy and performance. Good PSU choice, and no bottleneck between CPU and GPU. I agree with Gam3r01's recommendation as well, you could save a few more dollars dropping down to the 4590 without losing performance.

Awesome build.
