Hello everyone, first off I am new to Tom's Hardware, so I am not sure if this is the right category for this, so I am sorry in advance if this is not in the right category. So I am looking to building a new gaming PC and I would like your input on the parts I have chosen, I have also picked out a monitor and keyboard, which I would also like some input on, thank you. To give you an idea of what I need in this PC, here is a list of games I frequently play, Skyrim Elder Scrolls V, Minecraft, CS:GO, Garrys Mod, Payday 2, COD Advanced Warfare, Dark Souls, Farcry 4, Civ 5, and more. In addition to all of this I do record youtube videos, although I am not looking to advertise it here. So, without further ado, here is what I have picked out and why.

CPU: An i7 processor, with a good GPU will ensure high fps in most games, especially in Minecraft.
CPU Cooler : I'm not too sure about this one, it had a fairly high rating, and was fairly cheap too so I picked it.
Motherboard: Again I'm not too sure about motherboards, it's pretty much the same story as the CPU cooler.
Memory: I don't think right now that I need more than 8 gigs of RAM, and this was a reasonable price, with a good rating.
Storage: I plan to use this computer for a while and I would like to save my youtube videos on here as well so I figured that 2TB is worth it.
Video Card: High performance for games = gud stuf
Case: Fairly cheap, has a high rating, and looks nice.
Power Supply: I looked it up and around 600w is good.
Optical Drive: I won't use this very often, but it can be useful in some situations.
Operating System: I don't want windows 8 really, I don't need windows 7 ultimate or professional, just a waste of money really.
Monitor: Good refresh rate, not too expensive, and I can't have a monitor go over 24 inches.
Keyboard: I was looking around the internet for a while with this one, people really seem to like it, and it looks pretty cool too.
I am no expert in this so please any input or changes at all would be very appreciated, thank you.
