I am building a computer for the first time and am wondering if I have made the right choices to build a computer capable of fairly high end gaming

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/wilddeuce7/saved/4eJ9

The parts I chose are:
CPU Intel Core i5-4670 3.4GHz Quad-Core
CPU Cooler Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 45.0 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing
Motherboard ASRock H81M-ITX Mini ITX LGA1150
Memory Corsair 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333
Storage Western Digital RE3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Video Card Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB
Case BitFenix Prodigy (White) Mini ITX Tower
Power Supply Be Quiet 350W ATX12V / EPS12V
Optical Drive Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD/CD Writer

Just updated the parts list, to add a few extra things (case fan) what do you have to do about internet connection, and what good mini pcie sound cards are there because pc parts picker doesn't have any that work with the moterboard.

This would give you your adapter cards and fairly similar build to what you listed before.

I changed the ram to 1600 fro gaming and chose a higher wattage psu, also the case and mobo before were very small and thats probably why you had no sound cards available to you. With this mobo you have slots for everything you listed, although bear in mind you would need the Z87 chipset if you plan to overclock.
