Thanks for the help ahead of time, for anyone who is helping me out. I made a PC on my own with my budget of $800. Now I just have to know if it is good. I'm pretty sure the parts will work together, I just need someone capable and willing to check them out for me and make sure. I will be using this PC for gaming only. Also, I will use the internet on it for downloading the games, but I don't think that actually is relevant or matters.

A few things about my choices:
I chose the CPU I did because it fit into my budget better. I didn't want to go lower than i5, so I chose the lowest i5 that was compatible with everything. I wanted a better video card for gaming, so I couldn't afford a better CPU.
I'm not 100% sure I chose a good motherboard. I kind of cheaped out a bit at that point. I had trouble finding a compatible motherboard that didn't have usb in the front, because my case didn't support that. If this motherboard doesn't support usb at all, please tell me. I need usb... I'm hoping it has a usb support in the back. I need at least 3 usb ports.
Not too sure on the storage. I thought 1TB for that price was awesome, then some people are saying ssd is better. I was thinking about getting an ssd and to use the Western Digital Caviar Blue as additional space, but I wasn't sure on that either.
Video Card. There is absolutely no way, I am budging from using anything other than a radeon. I am thinking that since the amd is used in PS4, XBO, and the WIU, that it will be supported better int he future. (I'm not a fanboy to either manufacturers, I simply am thinking that amd will receive more support in gaming in this coming generation.
Is the case even going to hold everything I want? I'm not too sure. Also, will it have usb ports? Still not too sure...
The fan goes in hand with the case, will it fit? If it does, where should I put it?
Someone said that if you want a long lasting power supply, to get gold. Should I? Also, is the watt amount good for my build? They also said that if you're afraid of heating issues, to get gold. I'm afraid of the pc heating up too bad, but will my cooling system and fans help this out?
Sorry for the text wall, I'm just trying to make sure I have all the parts good. Feel free to suggest anything other than a different video card (lol). Just remember that I have a budget of $800. And thanks again!

i'll just have to save up just a tiny bit more is all. The second one you showed me seemed okay, but would there be 3 usb ports? That's my main concern with cases/motherboards. Out of both which would you recommend more?
