I will be playing League of Legends, Minecraft, Starcraft 2, Overwatch, Counterstrike, World of Warcraft, Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty's.

Will I be able to run these games on max settings fine without any problems?

I also like to keep many tabs open in Firefox and I would like to not have lag when doing so.

Its a good build but BF1 will be bottlenecked by that CPU. BF1 eats i5s for breakfast. It will take as many threads as you can throw at it, however, all the other games on your list will be fine. Just know BF1 is a poorly optimized CPU resource hog at this point. At least I hope this is the case and things get better for BF1. I just respond to "BF1 ate my i5 for breakfast, bad FPS whats wrong?" threads on Tom's daily.
 
This is a much better build.
