Is this PC good and worth the $?
Well i5 or i7 throws the price up way too much. AMD is cheaper. Do they not have any new CPUs? The lastest new chip is that A10...

Consider posting to /r/buildapcforme or /r/buildapc for help making a build...or just browse both of them, there are probably many builds in the same price range that would fit your needs.
Also, use PCPartPicker. Good for checking compatibility and prices.
Other things to keep in mind:

I own WIn 7 and 10 is free, so. That's what I figured. Also yea I normally aim to get 3-4 years out of a PC. At least gaming wise, I know it iwll last longer then that otherwise.

"own Win7 and 10 is free"
If it's a pre-built PC (That is, from Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc.), you can't transfer the license. Win10 is free only as an upgrade. I know they talked about making the fast track (read: beta updates) version available for free to unlicensed (read: pirated) copies, but I think those plans disappeared at some point. (You can still upgrade unlicensed copies of Win7 or Win8.1 to Win10, but it remains unlicensed, and will continue to annoy you about it until you pay up.)

I've been out of the game for a while and I threw this together based on some reviews, scores etc.
I'd like to stay under $900 is possible but under $1k is the max.
$862
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-6600 3.30GHz 6MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1151 (Skylake)
Motherboard: GIGABYTE G1.Sniper Z170 SLI ATX w/ USB 3.1, 3 PCIe x16, 2 PCIe x1, 3 SATA Express, 6 SATA3, 1 Ultra M.2
RAM / System Memory: 8GB (4GBx2) DDR4/2800MHz Dual Channel Memory (ADATA XPG Z1)
Video Card: AMD Radeon R9 390X 8GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card (Single Card)
Very surprised it only went upt $1 for the i5....
