So a member of this community gave me this PC build-

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Danbuscus250/saved/43Bs

Before I go and spend ~1,400 USD I just want to get 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinions etc. I like to be extremely cautious.

The budget is ~1400 USD

The main purpose of this PC is for gaming. I also watch movies and go on youtube, general surfing of the web. But the main purpose of this is to get a PC that can get video games that require a lot of resources to play on very high/ultra on 60+ fps (or whatever FPS is considered good). Do you think this is good enough? Anything that could be replaced? (Within the budget) Will this PC perform like I am hoping for?

I thank you for taking time to reply to this thread

And thank you for taking the time for making the build yesterday, if you happen to see this thread.

To be quite honest I don't exactly know what it is or how to do it.

From what I've gathered from my 10 seconds of hearing about it is that your push your computer past what it is supposed to be able to do? And if so then I may be interested. Overclocking was actually my next question

Is this computer capable of overclocking? Is there anything I'm missing if I wanted to?

i changed your ram because i would rather go with a more reputable company like corsair or g skill

No cooler, no overclock, so I added a cooler as suggested by lackysami. 212 Evo
A better motherboard is recommended as STACKS ON DECK has suggested, so I changed it. Z87 Extreme4
There are cheaper RAMs out there, that will also get the job done. Ripjaws X Series
PNY isn't the best brand as Bad_Kitty13 has mentioned, but I opted for a cheaper and still reliable brand (not as reliable). A-Data SP600
If you were going to spend $110 on the PSU, might as well raise the wattage since it's still within that $110. XFX 750W 80 Gold.

Here you go, a combination of everyone.

Update: if you are not plan on overclocking, then you should get i5-4570/4670 and H87M-E. It's kind of a waste of money if you get a K processor and a Z87 board, but don't overclock it.

Not being offense or anything, but you have to give that the XFX ProSeries 750W 80+ Gold is definitely worth the dollar compare to the original one. Similarly, the motherboard is just more superior in terms of build quality and overclocking capability. RAMs from G.Skill for 69.99 is a steal. Furthermore, since we have all agreed that you should get Evo 212 if overclocking. The only thing you are considering would be either the Samsung 840 EVO or A-Data SP600.
