First thing you want to do (blatant self-advertising) is read the guide here to get a general knowledge of what you're looking for: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1656674/parts-guide-computer.html
Then go check out pcpartpicker.com and play around with builds.
(Just for reference, I would not recommend the build you've got there - certain things are priced VERY weirdly, and it's using tech that in most cases is a generation or two old.)

A good way to choose your parts is on pcpartpicker. If you feel like searching and just looking around, select a category and get to work. Otherwise, try the Build section and then select each parts. The bonus about this is that it lets you know if there are any compatibility issues and what the estimated wattage is.
Wattage is really important because if you have a under power PSU (Power Supply Unit), you can damage parts and then probably have to replace them. So I would always go a bit over the estimate because 1) its an ESTIMATE, not exact. 2) You would always have room for a little upgrade if you wanted.
Hope this helps!

I would make sure it is Modular too. This way, you can separate the cords you will use and won't use. You would only have to use the cords you need, rather than have extra cluttered cords you don't even use.
