I would like to know if the components that I chose are a good (for the money) and are compatible. Does anybody have suggestions about better components in the same price range. I want a gaming computer that can handle most games at up to 30 - 50 frames a second, will this do it? I want to play dayz, minecraft, and battlefield 3 but the computer should also be able to handle newer games

Drop down to 8gb's of Ram for gaming, up the video card to an MSI or Gigabyte 760 for less money actually, and put more money into your case. You can actually make all those changes and save money.

Another thing to consider would be upgrading from the Ivy Bridge 3570k to a Haswell 4670k Cpu and accompanying motherboard.

THe Haswell 4670k is not compatible with my motherboard that I have chosen
 
I know it's not compatible. I said accompanying motherboard, not the same motherboard. Meaning that you could pick a different one. Sorry if I said it incorrectly. The AsRock Extreme 6 is a good choice, as is the MSI G65 or Asus Z87-Pro.
