I am building my first ever PC, which is mainly for gaming, as well as media and homework. I have a price limit of $1000 dollars, including a monitor. I would like to be able to play modern games on the highest settings I possibly can, at 1080p. I also don't plan on overclocking, and I am not sure if I will ever use Crossfire/SLI, but I would like to keep it an option for the future. I plan on pirating Windows, and will likely purchase the parts as soon as I get some good responses from you, and don't have any concerns about this build. I think I have most of the build pretty much set, but as I am entirely new to this, I would appreciate feedback on whether this build is sufficient, whether I should swap parts, or any other comments/advice you have about the build.
The link to the parts are as follows:

Here is what I would like to know the most:
--Have I missed anything?
--Is my PSU sufficient, or perhaps a bit overkill?
--Will my PC be relatively future-proof?
--What can I reasonably expect from this PC?
--Should I switch my graphics card to something else? Why?
--Do I need any cooling accessories, or am I safe as is?
Also, if you have any other special tips for a first time builder, please let me know. The last thing I want is to short something, or break something in the process. I have watched plenty of videos on PC assembly, but you may have some specific advice for this build or just from your own experience.
Thanks for your time, and I appreciate your help.
