About $1225 for everything listed. My monitor runs at 1920 x 1080. I plan on playing Metro 2033 first. Not sure about an aftermarket cpu cooler. Don't plan to OC.
Any suggestions or input will be appreciated

Totally understandable, that setup will work out great, lots of high quality parts. If you don't plan to OC then you can get by without an aftermarket cooler but the 8350 runs pretty hot and the stock cooler is not great so I would recommend a cooler for about $30. The one I typically recommend is the Cooler Master 212 EVO since it will also run more quietly than the stock cooler.

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.99 @ Micro Center)
Total: $29.99
