I am looking to build a $800 range PC and I have this so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nLmBf7 the only thing that I'm not willing to change is the case, I just want to know If this is a good pc for $800 I want to game at 1080p 60FPS on a single monitor, also I have two harddrives in my current pc so I don't exactly need a hard drive but I need a SSD also I'm in the us if that is important

What you have will work well for 1080p, but I think you're spending money on things that really aren't going to add any performance. I threw this together in case you're interested. It's overclockable, VR ready, will perform much better at 1080p, and has better upgrade options.

That is not a good build at all.
Dont get an APU with a 800 dollar budget (or any budget that includes a discrete card), lose the water cooler, that motherboard isnt even available (so your prices are wrong), youre spending too much on a case, and the PSU isnt great.
If you can suck it up on the case you will have a vastly superior system:
