Are these components good enough for a gaming PC?

I am planning to build my first gaming PC and I wanted to hear other people's input before ordering any of the stuff. I usually play games like Overwatch, Tera, Guild Wars 2, and Black Desert. As you can see, some of these games really require high specs so I want to make sure my PC can handle these games with ease.

My budget is currently below $1,000, anything below that is fine. Didn't want to be right at 900 but it seems like that'll be happening.

Here are the components I chose:

Also, on the site it states: "The Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler may require a separately available mounting adapter to fit the Gigabyte - GA-AB350-GAMING 3 ATX AM4 Motherboard."

What can I do to fix that, or clear it up? Thanks in advance. I'm still pretty new to this stuff.

The first one seems more like a fit to me, but could you care to enlighten me about why the compatibility says "The Cooler Master - Hyper 212 LED 66.3 CFM Rifle Bearing CPU Cooler may require a separately available mounting adapter to fit the Gigabyte - GA-AB350-GAMING 3 ATX AM4 Motherboard."
Is it something that can be easily fixed or is it more complicated than it actually sounds? And could you also list the reasons why those parts better than the ones I've picked? I am just curious :)

Its way less complicated than it sounds. CM 212 SHOULD come with any mounting needed BUT if it doesn't please grab one of these http://www.cmstore.eu/cooling/amd-am4-upgrade-kit-air1-xclip-rr-am4b-h212-s1/

There is a US link for it too, just I'm based in the UK so I get EU links.

basically its just how it fits into your motherboard, for example you can't fit intel socket 1151 cooling brackets onto an AMD AM4 socket, not without bending things and probably breaking them anyway!

Better components:

GTX 1070mini > GTX 1060, benchmarks will show its better in every way, but more expensive
RAM > G.skill is cheaper than Corsair but still very good quality, slower but not really noticeable at all
Addition of an SSD> faster boot times.
PSU > Seasonic, that's basically all you need to know.
hyper212led > cheaper, same cooler.
Case is cheap but has a nice window. In alot of cases (badoom tsss) I think Corsair are often over-rated.
