Would this make a good pc that can run the newer games on maxed out settings ?

You need a better graphics card. Since you picked a h77 motherboard, I'm assuming you're not overclocking. Get a i5-3470. Your psu is extremely overkill and a bad brand. Get a xfx 550w for about $50. Use all the money you saved on a better graphics card like a gtx660 or gtx660ti if possible.
 
Even the 660ti will be cutting it close on ultra 1080p, but it depends on how many fps you consider playable. I had to turn MSAA off and set Antialiasing Post (nVidia's TXAA) to High to lock in at 60fps. Without that I'd get drops to the 40s.

No it is not good, as a matter of fact it is not good at all.
Can you give us your budget so we can help on a better build maybe?

A rough draft for now. Not sure on your budget so I kept it under $800. I just noticed that you didn't list a case, so do you already have one or forgot to list? If you still have room in the budget, upgrade to a 660ti.
