I have never built a gaming BC before, and only two or three days ago started looking into what components would be useful for one. I have so far compiled this list by myself(did maybe 6 or so hours of research to find out what works with what, what's the better component, etc) however I don't know if I'm getting the most for my money with this. With that being said, here is the list of parts I've found so far

I was also planning on this case

however I am open to any suggestions.
Essentially, I'm looking for someone to tell me if I'm doing things right, or if I have some huge error where maybe my processor is too good and will be wasted on a cheaper motherboard/ graphics card. Feel free to point out a bad part or a few, just know that I put this plan together knowing almost nothing about how to build a PC, so try not to laugh too hard if it is hilariously bad!
I'm open to a complete rebuild if my plan doesn't work at all, but please let me know! I appreciate any advice in advance.
edit** I will be using this PC solely for the purposes of playing PC games such as Battlefield, DayZ, hopefully Star Citizen eventually! I want it to be able to handle graphics intensive games and not run on low settings. I am also planning to get a 1TB hd. Thanks!
