Hi. This is my first post. I would be building a gaming PC onto which I would be able to play some of the new games like COD, Gta V, battlefield, etcetera at High resolution. So please help me in selection for pc components as this would be my first ever build.
Components:

1. Intel i5 4690k processor
2. Gigabyte ga-z97x d3h motherboard
3. Rip Jaws(2x4aGB) RAM
4. Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 2GB
5. Crosair 750 Watt
6. Apevia xdreamer-4 case
7. Western digital 1TB hard disk drive
8. Dell s2340m monitor
9. Samsung DVD drive

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Here's a closer look into it:

Welcome to the forum, my first suggestion is if you want to spend more money, you could snag this:

Or if you don't want to spend so much you can choose a lower graphics card and/or CPU. I am pretty confident in this build and it could easily play all your games on high settings, in fact this build is not unsimilar to the build I put together for myself. I decided I wanted to spend a little more and I got 16 gigs of ram for video editing and stuff, but 8 gigs will do for games and anything you desire. I hope this was helpful :)

If you are going to overclock the PSU isn't a good choice. It is a Tier 3 and you must get a Tier 1-2 if you plan on heavy overclocking. But the Tier 3 will be fine if it is light overclocking, but don't get the CX series they aren't that good. But for temporary use it will be fine.

At that price of the monitor get a 1ms monitor and it will be a gaming machine.
