If you are playing mainly Skyrim then intel 4670k is the best option than amd. But if you are considering next gen gaming, go with 4770k or FX 8320 then overclock it.

The cpu on the intel build is a little faster for gaming because of the better per core performance. But the FX 8320 is no slouch either.

The SSD will make launching windows and your basic applications faster, although if you have a lot of games you probably should install them on the hard drive and not the SSD.

The CPU cooler i added is effective to keep the CPU cool also for possible overclocking as both CPU's can be overclocked and the sound profile is much better than on the boxed coolers that come with the CPU's.

Other than that there really are no extra components. You have your basic 8 CPU,Motherboard,Memory,Gpu,HDD,DVD,Case and PSU.
Then SSD for startup speed, CPU cooler for cooling plus OS and mouse as requested.

Well you can replace the i5 with the i7 in my build as well if you want, but currently there really is no benefit in games from it, or it is really minimal.

Im not recommending you i5 4670k simple because you are just building your rig right at this moment. but don't get me wrong i5 is still a powerful cpu and can still run next gen games for sure but you wont get the maximum experience. watchdogs ultra setting requirements is i7 3770k and FX 8350 so its better to prepare yourself for next gen gaming.

yes without the mouse. You can upgrade your stock cooler later when you are planning on overclocking. but if your not stock cpu cooler is enough.

and btw change your OS to win 8.1 just 5-10$ more.

Funny, watchdogs lists 2 generations old graphics cards for recommended settings, but lists high end CPU's.
Sounds like bad utilization of resources to me... But yeah obviously games are going to be utilizing more threads and as such the higher end CPU's will be better.

I just wish it won't be simply because of bad console ports...

Yeah, should be fine, you can check if you prefer Corsair 200R or 300R they are almost the same price, 300R is slightly bigger, and has somewhat better airflow.
