 Um everything looks fine but what CPU cooler are you using? And if you can squeeze a bit more in your budget I would get a better GPU, but yes it will run every game you listed

Please don't listen to this guy.

A 550 ti is not a strong card ( about 6850 performance ) and will struggle playing BF3 @ 1080p settings, even at default settings with no AA. Hell, they even recommend at minimum a GTX 560 ti / AMD 6950 ( preferably a 2gb card since it's a console port and isn't optimized well ). The OCZ ZS series PSU is actually one descent product from OCZ...but it's still OCZ and it's a 50/50 chance - and to note, that system will use no where near the amount and will probably hit around ~350-400w from the wall. Caviar Blue drives aren't the speediest things around and might be a slight annoyance, but if you're fine with a little slow times, it's all gravy. It's easy to get caught up with really nice cases and RAM that is overkill, but in the end that's not doing anything but giving you bragging rights. If you got a lower end case, for example a HAF 912 and a 2x2gb RAM and with the money you saved put it towards a better GPU and MOBO, it'd be the best option. Skyrim is pretty much out of the option though. You could also easily save $100 by getting Windows for free and could grab a GTX 570 / a 750w XfX PSU for example.

I run BF3 LE on my 550ti and I have no problem at all with it and I can play on the best settings.

Also this is a good beginners build.

Show me a screenshot that your single 550 ti runs BF3 @ 1080p with 4x AA with over 50 FPS constant. I know that's impossible, even if you have the best CPU in the world. This is not a good beginners build and you don't know what you're talking about, just like a lot of other members that post misleading advice.
