I'm building a new computer (intended primarily for gaming, but I also need it for basic stuff like Excel/Word). I don't intend to overclock, but I do want a computer that can run games like Elder Scrolls Online or Wildstar very smoothly and on decent (high, but not necessarily ultra high) settings. I plan to install Windows 8 on it after putting it together. The only things I haven't picked out are the keyboard and mouse; I plan on using a 32" LCD tv for a monitor. I have been doing some research and here's what I have come up with:
What I'm most concerned about at the moment is getting the right motherboard, and ensuring that all of the components will work together. I'm fairly noob when it comes to computer hardware, and I don't want to end up with the wrong components here. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Computer Case: NZXT Phantom 410 Mid Tower USB 3.0 or NZXT Guardian 921 RB ATX Mid Tower Case
Motherboard: ASRock's Z87 Pro or Z97 Extreme4
CPU: Intel i5-4670k
Optical Drive: Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial ATA
GPU: Radeon R9 290
Hard Drive: WD Blue 1 TB
