So I am going to build my first ever pc and I was wondering if it would be able to run games like dayz, csgo, witcher 3, h1z1, skyrim and other similar games on max settings with high fps. First ever post so hopefully I put it under the right category.

Sidenote: I will be buying a cheap desk and I already have a mouse.

Thanks for the responses. :)
 
Solution
Better build:
Changed the PSU to a more reliable one
Changed the RAM to faster and better for a dollar more (also is red+black to match your build)
Changed the Mobo to a cheaper and better one.
Faster, double the size, and more reliable SSD. (Model newer than the 840 for the same price)

Solution
You do not need a sound card and:
There is not much difference besides book specs.
http://motherboards.specout.com/compare/3449-3455/GIGABYTE-GA-Z97X-SLI-vs-GIGABYTE-GA-Z97X-Gaming-5

Gaming 5 is cheaper
Supports faster RAM
Has the "Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2201" LAN (Gigabyte says that it performs 300x faster operations compared to the Intel LAN found on the mobo you chose) Best choice for Gaming online.
It also has better reviews.
