This is my first PC build and I just wanted to see if anyone could give it a look before I pull the trigger and buy everything. Is there any problems with the parts I've chosen? Should I expect bottlenecking? Can this rig run new games at middle-high settings? Have I chosen a value GPU? I'm open to any suggestions, but I'm trying to keep the price under $700

Thanks alot,

CPU Cooler - Don't forget one!
MEM - Always install modules in pairs to take advantage of the dual memory controllers. A single module (single channel mode) will run in reduced performance.
CASE - You will have issues with long video cards in that case if you want to keep the drive cage. Changed to the Tesseract. On a budget it will be just fine...
PSU - From EVGA, stick with the G2 lineup only. The rest are OK, but have cheap capacitors. Stick with XFX or Seasonic.
