If I've missed anything, feel free to reply with what you suggest and a link to where you got it from. I would like my computer to be under $1600.

Okay then what you've got now is a good system. Not particularly high-end but very good for 1080p gaming.

Everything is compatible and selection of components is good. You are missing a motherboard in that list so here is one you can take:

Motherboard: MSI Z97-G55 SLI ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($178.00 @ CPL Online)
Total: $178.00
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
