Hello! I'm 14 and thought about building my own PC. I don't have a super low budget because I work for a guy that pays me to do chores at his house and he pays me quite a bit. But what I was wondering is will this build be nice for a couple of years? Will I be able to run the next-gen games like Battlefield 4, COD: Ghosts (I know these aren't too next gen but you get the point), and Titanfall, etc.
So here are the specs (along with prices).

So if you guys could tell me if this is a good build or not, and leave suggestions of things I can maybe downgrade but still have either the same or even better performance. The only things I really want to keep is the graphics card and CPU cooler. Please don't call me spoiled because once again, I am working my butt off for this money.
Oh and also if you could suggest a nice gaming keyboard for under $150 that would be nice.
The keyboard I saw was the Corsair K95 but I don't like all the macro keys because I never use them. But I saw the Razer DeathStalker or BlackWidow and though they were cool so let me know.
