I'm new to building. I only began looking into it a couple days ago so my knowledge is very limited and choices probably poor.
I want a good build for gaming.
Several games I play include:
DDO(D&D online)
Mount&blade(warband, heavily modded)
Minecraft(heavily modded)
Many steam games.
I want a wifi adapter(PCI over USB, as they're stronger/more reliable, right?)
I also need an OS(win7?) and a monitor.
Here's an unfinished list of things I'm thinking of:
PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3OtLA
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($223.98 @ SuperBiiz)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.94 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($228.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($87.74 @ Amazon)
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($74.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($68.99 @ Best Buy)
Case: Enermax ECA3280A-BL ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $784.62
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

I selected the Asus VII hero Mobo because it's not much more than the older and I figure I'll be able to reuse it in the future, like buying the new CPU in the years to come. I've also read it's better to skimp on mobo and put the cash into graphics card, which I only recently started to look into.
I'm also in an upstairs room that gets hot in the summer so I don't think I will be doing any OC for now, but I would like to someday.
Thanks for any and all advice
