Well what you put up before could do max settings without breaking a sweat. I would imagine this can too.
Once again you might dip as low at 30 fps in crowded areas. This has more to do with how the game is programmed than it does your hardware at this point.
Didn't know this was your first build, may I also recommend some Arctic Silver thermal compound? A $5 syringe of it is practically a lifetime supply and it's about a jillion times better than the toothpaste that comes with most standard heat sinks.

Good stuff. Remember, if you're at all unsure of what you're doing, there are approximately infinity videos on how to do this on the Internet.

i will ive started looking into them in my free time to become more familar. the guys at pcpartpicker are saying this system is gonna have issues with the AMD card and my processor bottlenecking the system. is that true?
I'm not seeing it.
Admittedly I'm not as familiar with AMD cards, but from what I'm seeing here, that one's one of the best right now and Gigabyte is usually pretty good.
If there were something I'd invite you to spend a little more money on, it'd be the motherboard. ASRock is... fine... but you'd probably get more bang out of an actual Asus board rather than their budget line.

the motherboard i ordered already but im hoping that since im building this i can upgrade it at a later time?
How will the Motherboard effect the performance? or will it make my system unstable/catch fire? ( im really scared im gonna blow this pc up somehow....)

You won't be able to upgrade your motherboard later without also re-buying Windows as the motherboard is the component that Windows checks to see if it's been moved to a different computer or not. Your OEM license will not transfer to a new one.
The motherboard's primary impact on performance is its ability to get information from one place to another, usually referred to as bus speed. Your motherboard also manages your BIOS which directly affects how your hardware interacts with the rest of the system. While a motherboard isn't likely to bottleneck you, a motherboard going bad is at the same time a complete disaster and nearly impossible to diagnose with any certainty.
My preference has always been to spend a little extra to make sure I have a good board because I know I can't replace it later without replacing a bunch of other things too. It's the most expensive repair possible because it generally takes other components with it.

a little worried now because its already on its way to me now.... is it bad enough to warrant sending it back and going though the refund process to get another? Its all brand new components if that makes a difference. First time building but now i have a better understanding of the Motherboard. the reviews on it seemed great but like i said im brand new to this and probably was fooled. (has happened alot during this process..... :( )
I don't think you were fooled, it's probably a fine board. As I said this is more my preference than anything else because I fix computers for a living.
I doubt it's worth going through the refund process as return shipping plus restocking is probably the price difference between this and another board. Just be aware, and test the living crap out of it when you get it up and running. The good news is that if a motherboard is going to go bad, it usually does so fairly quickly and returning a defective product should fall under your warranty and not cost you money. Time yes, but not money.
As for the Windows license, sometimes you can call MS and get it switched over if you got a bad part. Even they don't generally make you suffer because of something like that.

I've called them at least 4 times over the past few years to make my Windows "Genuine", never been an issue. They don't even ask why half the time.
I switched out my motherboard a couple years ago and I didn't even have to do that. I just reinstalled and it worked fine.
