Hello, I have never built a PC before, and feedback for the parts I have chosen would be appreciated, I honestly don't know what to get, but a friend of mine chose some parts that I could use for now, but I would like help and feedback on better options or what I should do. I would like to stream on twitch.tv at 60 fps, but Im mostly looking to play Battlefield 4/Titanfall/Skyrim etc. on high/ultra graphics. It seems the hardest part of building a pc is trying to choose the right parts, but I am looking to overclock and have upgrade potential for the future, and possible dual monitor display with upgrades, I don't know if its possible or not with this build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Qmdwyc so helping with parts would be great. :D 
EDIT: My bad, I live in Colorado, USA, and I will probably buy the parts of NewEgg, dont know where else to get em. :p

You did not mention where do you live or where do you buy your parts from
I would buy some Z97,i5-4670,8GB DDR3,770 GTX and a 600-700 PSU

I looked up these parts, there are about 5 Z97 so I looked at the MSI Z97-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard, with the 770 GTX and i5-4670, rhe cost was pretty nice.

This is 100 less than the other build. You could upgrade the cpu to an 8 core with that money
