So this is my first ever attempt at making my own gaming PC. I would like to be able to play a lot of new and upcoming games. Some games I would like to play include Arma 3, Skyrim, Battlefield 4, The COD series, and many more.

Please tell me what is overpriced, how to make it cheaper (if possible), will this run games well. Thank you.
