Hi, I'm building my first rig, and was wondering if the parts I picked out would be alright to play most games on at least mid-high settings.

yep looks fine to me though you could save money and drop to a h87 motherboard since your not overclocking

I suggest getting the i5 4570 it has better performance for only about $10 more. Also since ur using a cherry mx blue keyboard try getting o rings :D  helps to dampen the sound and feels nicer.

But if you're not overclocking there's really no difference between 3.0 and 3.2GHz - you'll not notice the difference. I'll also suggest downgrading the motherboard to an H87 - you won't lose anything except maybe a couple of SATA ports.
