New gaming pc

[bmxer28520]

Wanting to build my first computer. wondering if this would be good for gaming and if there is anything I should think of changing. Budget is around $1200 like too keep it under that because still need to buy an operating system. probably get windows 8. will like it to play most games WoW, Farcry, skyrim, BF3 and others alike. Not sure what else so ask big noob to this stuff.

I would scrap the SSD and instead, buy a CPU cooler and a better GPU
