Building my first gaming rig, I'll be playing games like DayZ, Battlefield 4 and everything that I feel like playing, I use steam. I know that future-proof doesn't exist because techs could take a huge step at any time and probably my rig would be useless by then but I can see that people upgrade basic components at around 4 years of usage, that's why I'd exceed my budget a bit.
Since I'm not experienced I want advices on what can be changed or if I'm choosing what I should to get what I want. Thanks in advance.
Pc part list I've chosen, what could be better? is there's something that I don't need?

Approximate Purchase Date: Not sure, first I want to know how much I should aim for.
Budget Range: $800-$1300 for now

Parts to Upgrade: New build
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I just don't want to get something broken or used and price is important too.

Additional Comments: I wanted a windowed case but didn't find a cheap one, performance is more important FOR NOW.
