This is the first build I will be doing. After a couple of weeks of choosing parts and doing lots of research I have come up with this for my budget. It's going to be a gaming rig that I'll play games like Arma, Minecraft, and Skyrim on the "High" setting and hope to get around 30+ FPS with it. Do you guys think I can do that with this build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ck3/saved/1sZI ?

This will play at low settings at 1080p. Thats about it. The GPU is very low end. Do this instead: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

The motherboard won't really change anything at all.
Your GPU was weak. It isn't meant for heavy gaming at 1080p. It would only play at low settings. Basically, its a cheap GPU. The 650ti will be considerably better.

Ok. That helps me understand thank you. I'll be going with this build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Rabv the only thing I changed was the motheboard because yours had less ram slots and no USB 3.0 and I wanted an ATX not a micro ATX.
EDIT: sorry stuff completely changed >.< Let me fix that link

That build is many orders of magnitude worse.
The CPU is older and slower.
The GPU is weaker even more than the gtx650
The PSU that comes with the case is trash.
The motherboard is super overkill.
This won't run games at 1080p. at all.
The build I posted is many times more powerful than this one.

Drop the CPU cooler, and get a FX6300. Get the CPU cooler later when you have the money. That will be a considerable upgrade
