It's alright, but you could do a little better. I'd go for a bigger SSD, bigger HDD, cheaper motherboard, 16gb RAM.

Keep in mind you haven't factored in the cost of an OS.
>Is this a good PC setup?
You evidently know nothing about PCs, because you are asking us about it.
The build will run many games at a decent quality, however it will be outdated before very long and it will not be cost effective to upgrade it due to limitations of the budget mobo.

Keep in mind that a SSD isn't going to last long if you don't know how to set up a PC (and files will build up in time if you do) and the cheaper ones tend to have a higher than acceptable failure rate due to firmware issues.

If you want to burn $800 on a gaming PC when you don't know much about PCs, then you should probably get a pre built one.

Logical increments will be worth a look too if you want to see what you can get for your money's worth, but this whole thing is based on the presumption that you know how to build a PC.

I would go for an nVidia card instead of an ATI card.

I've had nothing but problems with ATI.

Never had a problem with nVidia
