Everything seems ok however i think you should swap out your monitor, for a cheaper price you could get an even better monitor with a 1ms response time and other features. This monitor has a 1 ms response time whereas the dell one has an 8ms which is a huge difference, also the BenQ monitor has 2 HDMI ports which can be very handy.

Get cheaper RAM, a H97 MB, 1TB storage won't cost you that much, and if this is for gaming, you can do with a cheaper CPU and better gpu.

your spending too much on the unnecessary stuff, you want spend less on monitor, keyboard, and mouse, than the actual computer components because at the end of the day, they are the ones that are going to give the smooth games.

What is a H97 motherboard and why is it better?

Abit more expensive but better-->http://pcpartpicker.com/p/W2jGdC
You can balance it by spending abit less on the monitor.
